Well, that was disappointing. Jack Flaherty couldn't find the strike zone, unless he was serving up meatballs to the Mets, giving up 8 ER without recording a single strikeout in his 3.0 IP. Flaherty was uncharacteristically outdueled by David Peterson, who himself only lasted 3.2 IP (2 ER, 4 BB, 3 Ks), but it was enough of a lead stoked to the Mets that they could coast to victory in Game 5.
If there's any consolation, it's that Brent Honeywell stepped up hugely, taking the ball in the fourth inning and almost going the full game only ceding four more runs.
