The Mets (31-28) were no-hit by Chris Heston and the Giants (33-26) and lost by a score of 5-0 Tuesday night.
Offense:
Um… Well some guys didn’t strike out, so that’s good.
The Mets were shut out for the fifth time this season (all at home). New York has been held scoreless in five of its nine losses at Citi Field this season.
In New York’s nine home losses this year, the team has scored 12 total runs and hit .158 (45-284).
Pitching:
Noah Syndergaard started and unlike the other guy, he just didn’t have it today. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 10 hits, striking out only two batters. He walked one and allowed a home run.
This is the second consecutive start he’s lost his command and sharp break on his curveball. Last time he could find solace in his 10 strikeouts, but this was definitely a game to forget.
Dillon Gee had his first relief outing, going 1.2 innings. After allowing a solo home run he looked uncomfortable, allowing a further walk and two hits.
Sean Gilmartin finished the game, going 1.1 perfect innings striking out 1.
Notes:
The Mets were held without a hit for the seventh time in their history and the first time since Houston’s Darryl Kile tossed a no-hitter at the Astrodome on September 8, 1993 in the Astros’ 7-1 win.
Congratulations to Chris Heston and the Giants on the no-hitter! How in the world did you do that in under 130 pitches??
He did hit three batters; Anthony Recker, Ruben Tejada, and Lucas Duda. This was already the 9th time this season Duda has been hit.
Look forward to getting Travis d’Arnaud back, as he should be activated before tomorrow’s game.
On Deck:
The Mets will send Matt Harvey (6-3, 3.05 ERA) to the Citi Field mound against the Giants’ veteran Tim Hudson (3-5, 4.41 ERA) tomorrow evening at 7:10 pm.
