last night's loss

Everything is pointing the wrong way. Last night's loss by 12 drags the score down. On top of that, a 2-5 week. That's the biggest factor right now.

Mets News

The Mets' struggles continued in a humiliating 14-2 loss to the Nationals, overshadowing the previous night's 8-0 triumph. David Peterson, who was expected to provide a spark upon returning to the rotation, instead floundered again, showcasing an alarming 5.06 ERA. The team's pitching woes were on full display as they surrendered seven runs in a fourth inning reminiscent of their own recent offensive outburst. Meanwhile, Tommy Pham's decision to elect free agency marks another chapter of disarray for a roster that has already seen significant turnover. At a dismal 10-19, New York must quickly regroup or risk falling further behind in a division that’s already slipping away. With the series against Washington not going as planned, the Mets' fans are left to question what, if anything, can save this season.

Answers remain elusive for Peterson as Mets tumble further

NEW YORK -- Realistically, the Mets moved David Peterson back into their rotation on Wednesday because they had no obviously better options. Team officials were encouraged by Peterson’s recent run of success in the bullpen. They liked the matchup against the Nationals, whose best hitters are left-handed.
