Mets Lose Series With San Diego Disappointingly

From May 31-June 2, the Mets were hosted by the San Diego Padres. This series again, is another example of the Mets' poor performance on the road. They had this series on their fingertips, but it slipped away. In game 1, on Memorial Day as I have said previously, the Mets just flat out got destroyed. There are no other words to describe this, but I can say that the Grand-Slam Jerry Hairston Jr hit off Takahashi definitely gave the Padres an edge, and they have never looked back in that game. Regardless, Takahashi was due for a loss as he was previously 2-0, and only gave up one run to the Yankees and Phillies combined. So the final score ended up being 18-6 Padres. In game 2, the Mets evened the series with San Diego as Mike Pelfrey pitched 7 innings, and did it like a superstar. In his 7 innings alone, Pelfrey had 8 strikeouts, 2 walks, and only 4 hits. The offense scored 4 for him, with help from David Wright and Ike Davis, combining for 4 runs. David Wright had a solo home run and added with an RBI single, while Ike hit a two-run bomb to straightaway center field. Lastly, K-rod got the save, but he gave up 1 run. This would prove lethal in the rubber game of the series. In game 3, it was Johan Santana pitching for the set. He pitched his heart out, while he didn't have his best performace on the mound. I say this because he walked 5 batters, and stranded 10 plus Padres on base. This was just a gem, but of course, the Mets' offense lacked firepower that it had had in the previous game. Johan qualified for the win because of Jeff Francouer's RBI single, but once again 1 run is enough for K-rod. In the bottom of the ninth, K-rod blew Johan's win by giving up a RBI single to David Eckstein in the bottom of the 9th. The game officially ended when Adrian Gonzalez hit a walk-off grandslam. Anyways the Mets proved again that they aren't comfortable on the road going 2-4 in six games, but at least now their home and can avenge this series in their upcoming homestand!
