Mets vs. Pirates Game 57 Recap

The New York Mets lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 tonight again to lose both games of the doubleheader. RHP Jacob deGrom gave up 3 runs in 6 innings and took the loss. He gave up 6 hits, but had 9 strikeouts. His record is now 3-2 and his ERA increased to 2.80. The Mets offense struggled once again and manged only 1 run on 4 hits. The only run they were able to score was on a RBI catcher by catcher Kevin Plawecki. The offense is in a major funk right now and scored only 2 runs combined in both games of the doubleheader. All of the Mets bats have gone cold at the same time. Manager Terry Collins needs to do something to shake things and try to get the offense going. Tomorrow he could try and have  OF Alendandro De Aza bat leaoff and move Curtis Granderson down in the order. This would allow him to have more speed at the top of the order and try to generate some stolen bases which could lead to some runs. It's worth a shot since the Mets offense has been searching for answers for a while now.
