The New York Mets lost to the San Diego Padres 8-6 to lose their fourth consecutive game and drop their record to 57-58. RHP Logan Verrett took the loss after he allowed 8 runs on 6 hits in 3 innings. He gave up 3 walks and had 4 strikeouts. After the game, Mets manager Terry Collins announced that Verrett will be replaced in the rotation by LHP Jon Niese. Verrett has struggled since being in the rotation and is best suited as a long man and spot starter. After Verrett was taken out, RHP Seth Lugo, RHP Erik Goedell and RHP Hansel combined to pitch six scoreless innings and retired the last 19 batters they faced.
The offense got a much needed 2 run homer from catcher Travis d'Arnaud. Hopefully this can get d'Arnaud's bat going. RF Jay Bruce hit an RBI single. Ty Kelly also hit an RBI single. Wilmer Flores drove in a run on a groundout, which resulted in a fielder's choice.
