The New York Mets continue to lose, having lost 10 straight games. During their 10-game skid, the offense has scored 18 runs and has been shut out three times, twice by the Athletics (April 10 and 12).
Since nothing is going the Mets' way and manager Carlos Mendoza’s lineup changes are not working, the third-year skipper is changing his starters for Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. The Mets will send right-hander Tobias Myers to the mound instead of left-hander David Peterson, who was the scheduled starter.
David Peterson is more concerned about what’s best for the New York Mets instead of how he feels
Peterson found out on Saturday that he would be starting on Sunday. Disappointed by the decision, the All-Star left-hander took it in stride and told Mets beat writer Nick Puma of the New York Post it’s about what “the best decision for the team is.”
“I don’t think it matters what my reaction is,” he said. “It matters what the best decision for the team is. We’re trying to do everything we can to win games.”
