On Tuesday, the New York Mets were forced to rely on Ariel Jurado, a mediocre veteran, and Franklyn Kilome, a rookie, for much of the game against the Baltimore Orioles. It didn’t end up well, as they allowed three homers between the two and the team lost.
“They didn’t fully give us what we were expecting,” Mets manager Luis Rojas said. “They didn’t do a good job.”
Jurado was visibly frustrated. “Obviously, when you come in and we’re on a bad losing streak, if you’re able to end that losing streak, you feel good about it,” he said.
