Luke Weavers Perfect Streak Ends: Mets Bullpen Struggles in Loss to Diamondbacks

In a disappointing turn of events, the Mets bullpen, which had been performing exceptionally well, faltered in the seventh inning against the Diamondbacks. Luke Weaver, who had been dominant, was relieved by Nolan McLean with a one-run lead. However, Weaver was called back in and struggled, giving up a game-tying double to Gabriel Moreno and ultimately surrendering four runs in the inning.

The Mets defense also had a tough night, with Brett Baty and Mark Vientos making errors that contributed to the Diamondbacks four-run inning. Despite the setback, Weaver took responsibility for the loss, acknowledging his hesitation on the pitch clock and praising Moreno for his aggressive play.

Manager Carlos Mendoza defended his players, noting that the balls high exit velocity made Batys play difficult. He also highlighted the challenging nature of the plays Vientos faced. With key players like Juan Soto and Jorge Polanco potentially out, Baty and Vientos have been stepping into unfamiliar roles, and Mendoza has been impressed with their performance despite the learning curve.
