In the sixth inning of last night's game, Eric Campbell hit is first major league home run, a two run shot, that brought the Mets within one run. Terry Collins told reporters after the game that Campbell may begin seeing time in the outfield. "With the way he's swinging, you have got to find some place to put him in the line," Collins added.
The Mets as a team in 2014 are hitting an abysmal 6 for 41 with the bases loaded. The Mets stranded the bases loaded twice on Tuesday night, and once last night. Had the Mets recorded one hit with the bases loaded in each game, they may have won. It's becoming an alarming problem for the Amazins'. Their inability to get runners home with productive at-bats, especially at Citi Field, had guided them to a season-worst 5 games under .500.
Second time through the rotation, Mets' youngsters Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom still find themselves without a win. On tuesday night, Montero gave up five runs, all in one inning, in what was his worst of his two outings in the big leagues. While deGrom dominated in his first start against the Yankees, he allowed three solo shots to the Dodgers in last night's affair, picking up his first loss of the season.
Next up, the Mets try to avoid the sweep when Jon Neise faces Zack Greinke in the finale at Citi Field. Game time is 7:10 PM.
