Lucas Duda walks to the dugout after striking out during the Mets' 8-1 loss Saturday night.
The night began in rough fashion for Robert Gsellman, one of the Mets’ rotation saviors last season. But Gsellman settled in, worked five innings and left on a positive note.
The night also began in rough fashion for the Mets’ offense.
It pretty much stayed that way right to the final out.
And you really don’t want to ask about the bullpen that gave up five runs in the final three innings.
Oh, the Mets got a solo homer from Lucas Duda in the fifth inning — and that was their first hit of the game, their only hit against Marlins starter Adam Conley in his five innings.
