Taijuan Walker had his roughest start of the season, as he exited before being able to get a single out in the second inning. While the Mets offense made a brief show of coming back, they were ultimately unable to overcome the early deficit, and they fell to the Braves 9-6 to even up the series at a game apiece.
It looked like Walker may have hurt himself during the first inning of his start, but Buck Showalter believes he is okay.
David Peterson is tentatively scheduled to start game 1 of today’s doubleheader, and Max Scherzer will handle game 2.
