The Mets started strong against the Diamondbacks but fell to a 5-1 loss, with David Peterson struggling despite pitching three hitless innings and throwing a season-high 104 pitches. His poor execution led to four runs, including a two-run homer from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the sixth. The Mets are 4-8 in their last 12 games, but manager Carlos Mendoza remains confident in the team’s competitiveness, while Juan Soto made history by surpassing Mickey Mantle for the most walks (798) before turning 27, emphasizing his elite ability to control the strike zone.
