Mets Series recap: Bats asleep, Jobu wakes them up, then they go back to sleep.

The Padres returned home for a three-game series against the New York Mets. The Mets started the season on a surprisingly torrid pace, winning eleven of their first twelve games. They came down from that cloud, losing seven of their next eleven, giving Padres fans a glimmer of hope that the team coming into Petco might present an opportunity to get some momentum going. Whatever momentum was created over the weekend series didn’t seem to be rolling in the Padres’ direction.

Friday, April 27: Mets 5 - Padres 1

Clayton Richard faced off against Jacob deGrom in a game that had the resemblance of a pitcher’s duel in the early innings.
