Mets

Mets starter David Peterson threw another solid six-inning outing but was disappointed with the second inning when he allowed the Giants to score two runs because he "wasn't aggressive enough" and fell behind in counts. Both Peterson and Pete Alonso complimented Giants ace Robbie Ray for throwing an "electric" game and keeping the Mets quiet through the seventh. Alonso who launched a solo shot off Ray, still felt the team as a whole put together some good ab's and hope to carry that into the weekend.

Despite losing their fourth straight game, 4-3 to the Giants in 10 innings, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza still saw some positive signs. Another solid six-inning performance from David Peterson, an overpowering Mets debut from reliever Ryan Helsley and Pete Alonso going to the opposite field "with authority" for his 23rd home run of the season.
