After rattling off six straight wins in which they averaged 5.8 runs per game, the Mets took a powder yesterday against the Dodgers, getting shut out 10-0. The offense fared slightly better in San Francisco this evening, but just barely, falling 5-2 to the Giants at Oracle Park.
José Quintana started the game for the Mets, and after a clean first inning, got into trouble in the second when Jorge Soler and old friend Michael Conforto singled and Thairo Estrada walked to load the bases with just one out. Quintana got Tom Murphy to strike out for the second out, but Nick Amed hit a ball up the middle for a single, scoring Soler and Conforto to put the Giants up 2-0.
