Mets Offense Continues To Struggle In 2-1 Loss To Arizona Despite A Fine Holmes Start
The New York Mets got shut down once again as they lost a 2-1 pitchers duel to the Arizona Diamondbacks, as Merrill Kelly outdueled Clay Holmes to even the three-game series at a game each.
Runs were hard to come by in this one, which isn’t exactly a new experience for the Mets these days. They scored first in the second inning as Brett Baty drove in Marcus Semien with a double after Semien singled, but those two hits represented nearly the entire New York offense as the Mets managed just one more hit. Merrill dominated throughout, and a pair of relievers did the same.
The Diamondbacks erased the 1-0 deficit against Holmes in the third when Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo singled, and Adrian Del Castillo walked. Ildemaro Vargas then singled to score two runs and make it a 2-1 game.
Clay Holmes was strong other than that brief blip, and he left with two outs the sixth and a runner on. First up in the bullpen was Austin Warren, who picked him up and followed with a scoreless inning, and Craig Kimbrel was next up with another shutout frame.
