Dylan Cease allows seven runs in 3⅔ innings, Padres rally late before dropping seventh consecutive road game
Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill attempts to catch a home run hit by the Mets’ Luis Torrens during the eighth inning of Sunday’s game at Citi Field. They weren’t interested in pawning off the loss on their starting pitcher.
“Could have easily said, ‘You know what, not our day, not our series, move on,’” manager Mike Shildt said. “That would have been the easy thing to do, but this is not a team that’s gonna take the easy way out. And just because we don’t get the win today doesn’t mean we didn’t throw it all out there. There’s no moral victories. I get that. But guys fought like crazy to grab one.”“Too little too late,” Jake Cronenworth said.
But their latest descent into being a losing team wasn’t as clear cut as the score suggested, as the they fought to within a hit of tying a game they were out of practically from the start. It certainly appeared they would go meekly, dress in their matching gray travel sweatsuits and board their buses for the ride to Philadelphia, where they play the National League’s top team the next three days.New reliever Jake Diekman got a comebacker from Cronenworth that he threw into center field trying to get the force at second, and pinch-hitter Donovan Solano walked to load the bases.
“I hit it hard,” Arraez said. “As soon as I hit it I said, ‘Send him.’ But then when I saw Marte got the ball and made a perfect throw, I said, ‘No, no, no.’ I know Kim is fast, but we did not have a chance to score there.”Fernando Tatis Jr.’s fourth strikeout ended the threat, and the Mets scoring four runs off Jeremiah Estrada in the bottom of the eighth effectively ended the game.The Padres have come back to win games when their starter struggles mightily.
Marte walked before pitching coach Ruben Niebla visited Cease, who proceeded to retire the next three batters.
