"Last week? I was incensed to an unhealthy degree by everything they did wrong, waiting with teeth bared for them to shoot themselves in the foot again. But Wednesday night? Yes, David Peterson gave up a grand slam to turn a 2-2 tie into a 6-2 Padres lead that would prove insurmountable, and no, Peterson shouldn't do things like that. But he gave it up to Manny Machado, who's an awfully good player and an even better one with the bases loaded."
"Francisco Alvarez got the Mets within two runs by driving a ball off the very top of the orange padding in right-center, a ball that bouncedestraight up before coming back, Dave Augustine-style, to Fernando Tatis Jr. The umps conferred and ruled it a home run, for reasons best left unexplored if you're a Met fan, because I still have no idea what it hit that wasn't orange padding or how the umpires determined that."
The Mets lost a peculiar game to the Padres after David Peterson surrendered a grand slam to Manny Machado, turning a 2-2 tie into a 6-2 deficit. The Mets continued to battle, stringing together strong at-bats against multiple San Diego relievers and nearly mounting a comeback. Dom Hamel avoided being charged with a run when Luis Arraez was thrown out at second just before Elias Diaz touched home plate, aided by Machado signaling Diaz to ease up. Francisco Alvarez hit a ball off the top of the right-center padding that was ruled a home run after an umpire consultation.
