The New York Mets’ bats, which were mostly silent in Los Angeles, didn’t fare much better in San Francisco. The bright spot was Pete Alonso’s fifth-inning home run, but the Mets could only muster a rally in the ninth inning. The loss to the Giants was the Mets second straight and marked their first losing streak since starting the season with an 0-5 record.
Keaton Winn was the standout for the Giants, pitching into the seventh inning and allowing only one run. The Mets managed just four hits against Winn and the Giants’ bullpen.
The Mets’ pitching staff has struggled, with Jose Quintana turning in a second straight underwhelming performance. Quintana allowed five earned runs over five-plus innings, continuing the trend of Mets starting pitchers issuing free passes with three walks on Monday.
