Mets vs. White Sox Game 52 Recap

The New York Mets lost to the Chicago White Sox today 2-1  in 13 innings to drop their record to 29-23 and to lose 2 out of 3 in the series. RHP Jacob deGrom gave up only 1 run in 7 innings. He gave up 5 hits and 2 walks. He had a season-high 10 strikeouts. It was the best deGrom has looked this season. It's a shame that he couldn't get any run support. He deserved to win this game. After deGrom was taken out, RHP Addison Reed, Jeurys Familia, Hansel Robles Jim Henderson and Logan Verrett combined to pitch four scoreless innings. However in the top of the thirteenth, Verrett gave up a sacrifice fly to 1B Jose Abreu to give the White Sox the lead and take the loss. The Mets offense was awful today and manged to score only 1 run, despite having 20 baserunners.  Catcher Rene Rivera drove in the only run with an RBI single. They drew 13 walks and had 7 hits. It's unacceptable that their offense has become this bad. They can't keep having guys like Ty Kelly in the every day lineup. They need to get a legitimate third basemen to back up David Wright, instead of relying on Kelly or Eric Campbell. It's unfair to the rest of the team and the fans to have to watch an offense like this. This awesome pitching staff deserves a lot better than to have their great outings wasted by a lack of runs. General Sandy Alderson can't wait too much longer to make moves to upgrade this offense, otherwise the Washington Nationals might start to run away with the division.
