Mets' Woes Deepen Ahead of Crucial Dodgers Series
14 Apr
Summary
- Mets lost last five home games, scoring two runs or fewer in four.
- Tommy Pham was called up to aid a struggling offense.
- David Peterson aims for a bounce-back start against Dodgers.
As the New York Mets gear up to face the formidable Dodgers, they find themselves in a precarious position. The team recently concluded a disappointing homestand, marked by a five-game losing streak. During this stretch, the Mets' offense faltered, failing to score more than two runs in four of those losses.
To inject life into their struggling lineup, the Mets have promoted Tommy Pham, who was signed to a minor-league contract in late March. This move coincides with the optioning of Ronny Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse. Key offensive players like Juan Soto are still recovering from injuries, and Jorge Polanco is playing through discomfort.
The Mets are hoping for a significant improvement from pitcher David Peterson, who has struggled in his recent starts, allowing five earned runs in each of his last two outings. The Dodgers are set to counter with Justin Wrobleski, who has started his season with a 1-0 record and a 4.00 ERA.
The series opener is scheduled for Monday night at 10:10 p.m. Eastern Time. Fans can watch the game on SNY, with out-of-market streaming available on MLB.TV. David Peterson is the Mets' projected starter with a 0-2 record and a 6.14 ERA, while Justin Wrobleski is on the mound for the Dodgers with a 1-0 record and a 4.00 ERA.
