Reed Garrett struggled during his appearance against the Atlanta Braves, allowing multiple hits and a grand slam while discussing the need to adjust his pitching strategy. Garrett entered the sixth inning with the Mets leading but quickly faced trouble, indicating that hitters have become more aggressive against his cutter. His recent performance has contributed to the Mets facing a slump, having lost 14 out of their last 17 games. Garrett is determined to analyze his game and improve in future outings.
It sucked, he began. No other way to put it. Just sucked today.
I feel like hitters are adjusting to him and being aggressive on the cutter, so he's going to have to make some adjustments there, manager Carlos Mendoza said after the 7-2 loss.
Falling behind 3-1 on Joey Ortiz, he went back to his cutter and, once again, left it hanging. The Brewers' shortstop jumped on it and sent it over the left-field fence to break the game open.
I can promise you, I'll figure out what it is and do the best I can to be better next time.
