Mets Lose to Diamondbacks, Peterson's Rotation Spot in Jeopardy

0:00It's April 9th, I'm Corey with The Story. This is New York Met's News Today, driven by AI and Bill for fans. The New York Met's fell 8-2 against the Arizona Diamondbacks last night, snapping their four-game winning streak. Starter. David Peterson had a tough outing, giving up five early runs that put the Met's in a hole they couldn't climb out of. This loss has folks wondering if Peterson's pitching his way right out of the rotation. Jonah piled on with big hits from guys like Corbin Carroll and Kettle Marte in the first two innings, jumping ahead five-nothing. Their starter Ryan Nelson kept the Met's quiet, tossing five and two-thirds innings with just one run allowed, and five strikeouts. New York didn't get on the board until the sixth, but Arizona added more to seal it. Without Juan Soto's sideline by a calf strain for the next two to three weeks, the Met's offense looked flat, managing only one extra-base hit. Francisco Lindor went 0-5, dropping his average to 149, and his slump is hurting the

1:00spark they need without Soto in the lineup. Sean Manaya came in relief for four innings, allowing two runs, and their talks he might slide into Peterson's spot soon. But Manaya's velocity is still under 90 miles per hour, so it's no sure thing after his own rough patches last year. Tomorrow night, the Met's host the Diamondbacks again, with Nolan McLean facing Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound. Our rematch five from their World Baseball, Classic Clash. If Lindor heats up and the bats wake up, they could bounce back quick.
