Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports The last two days have been some harrowing times for the Mets. They lost two games to the Pirates, including a heartbreaker last night. Their two biggest stars, Francisco Lindor and Jacob deGrom, have both hit the injured list. Some of their offensive stalwarts have been struggling to hit. But with their All-Star Taijuan Walker on the mound, they were going to turn the tide and win a game against one of the worst teams in the league, and prevent them from getting the sweep. In the top of the first inning, the Mets had what looked to be some action in the making. Brandon Nimmo walked, Pete Alonso singled, and after a Jeff McNeil strikeout J.D. Davis was hit by a pitch from Brubaker. So the bases were loaded with only one out for Dom Smith and Michael Conforto. But Smith struck out and Conforto grounded out, leaving the bases loaded without a run crossing the plate and making for an inauspicious start to the game for the Mets.
