The Mets tried going with a bullpen game on Saturday night and it didn’t work out, as they fell 5-2 to the Diamondbacks. This game that had some oddities to it including two runners hit by batted balls, and a ridiculous defensive play to end the game.
Trevor Williams got the start for the Mets, his first of the season, and it didn’t go well. He allowed a lot of contact, failing to record a strikeout over 2.0 innings, and surrendered four earned runs on seven hits. He simply had nothing tonight. Sean Reid-Foley came in behind him in the third inning and made a much better accounting of himself, tossing 2.
