00:00Let's jump across to the Mets.

00:04They were on the road up in Toronto taking on the Blue Jays.

00:07And I'll put the hand up in this one, Donnie.

00:09I was all about the Mets and Peterson going in here.

00:12I thought the offense had really found stride.

00:14I thought we had a strong arm supporting him, but they never showed up for this one.

00:18It was Chris Bassett on the hill there for the Blue Jays.

00:21He fans eight and they never were really tested.

00:24They got off to 5-1 lead going through the first three and carried it across the line.

00:29Yeah, you saw the Mets take that 1-0 lead in the first inning.

00:31Okay, good start here.

00:33Let's keep pace, but that wasn't going to be the case.

00:34A 6-2 final.

00:35And take a look at this, too.

00:37You look at the lineup here for the Toronto Blue Jays.

00:39They're not making the playoffs.

00:40Six runs and 12 hits, but take a look at this.

00:42Left nine batters on base, but also six of 18 with runners in scoring position.

00:47So there was traffic all night long for the Toronto Blue Jays on the base pass.

00:51But if you are looking at Peterson, you're right.

00:53He was 9-1 entering into that game.

00:56Took the loss, now drops to 9-2.

00:58Four and a third innings pitched.

00:59Eight hits given up, five runs.

01:01Four of those earned here.

01:02ERA climbs a bit, but still below three.

01:05He's been fantastic for them.

01:07And part of that resurgence, while you're looking for the Mets

01:09who might be able to do damage in the playoffs.

01:11If you look at that Mets lineup, Francisco Lindoor's had a sensational year.

01:14Only 1-4.

01:15Batting average drops down to 269.

01:17But how about Pete Alonso in the middle of that lineup?

01:190-3, drops his average to 239.

01:23Sometimes it's the ebbs and flows, Dubzy, of the Major League Baseball season.

01:26Where you stay hot for a period of time, you know that's going to end.

01:29Now you're deadlocked here with the Atlanta Braves for that final wildcard spot.

01:33You saw yesterday, the Braves gelled.

01:351-12 to nothing, even though their pitcher got knocked out in the first inning.

01:39The Mets weren't able to come away with a victory against the Toronto Blue Jays team.

01:42That's not going anywhere here the rest of this season.
