Happy Father's Day. Your Gift? A Mets Loss

The Mets decided to make this game interesting in the ninth inning, but fell short, losing to the Angels by a score of 7-3.


  • Jon Niese just did not have it today. He struggled through four innings of work, giving up five runs (four of them earned) on eight hits, while striking out three.
  • The Mets made Angels starter Tyler Chatwood look like Roy Halladay on the mound. Mets batters were held to just four hits off Chatwood.
  • Justin Turner committed a throwing error in the fifth inning. He has now committed an error three days in a row.
  • The Mets had a mini-rally going in the bottom of the ninth. They broke up the shut-out, scoring three runs in the inning. Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran each had an RBI single in the ninth.
  • Scott Hairston was called out at first base for the final out. Replays showed that Hairston was clearly safe. The umpire must have had a barbecue to attend, or something.

Next up: The Mets have Monday off. They open up a three game series against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night at Citi Field.
