Twenty-two straight scoreless innings for the Mets.
The Los Angeles Dodgers (54-30) beat the New York Mets (39-44) by a score of 8-0.
Mike Pelfrey was dreadful. Five runs (four earned) in three-plus innings. He needed 95 pitches.
Tom Verducci is putting a checkmark next to Pelfrey’s name in a worn-out old notebook. I know it.
The bullpen, charged with the task of working through six innings fared decently well. Tim Redding, appearing in relief, allowed one run on a pinch-hit solo home run by Blake DeWitt. Brian Stokes needed 40 pitches to get two outs in the eight inning, walking three and allowing two runs to score.
Stokes used to be my go-to guy in the bullpen, but no more. He has fallen on hard times, like the rest of the Mets.
For the bats, it was another quiet night. Clayton Kershaw held them to only three hits over the first six innings, striking out seven batters while on the bump.
The team did pick up four hits overall, all singles. They haven’t had an extra-base hit in 27 innings.
Just pitiful.
