With the Los Angeles Dodgers coming off a 6-2 road trip and the New York Mets having won six of their last seven after a five-game losing streak, their series at Dodger Stadium brought about some intrigue.
On top of that, the four-game set began on Memorial Day, and the first three matchups were headlined by Clayton Kershaw and Jacob deGrom, Rich Hill and Steven Matz, and Walker Buehler and Noah Syndergaard.
However, the expected pitcher’s duels were everything but that. Each starter was knocked around early, with Buehler and Syndergaard the latest to come under siege.
