Mets Dominate Padres in Tough 7-1 Loss 
Hey Padres fans, tough game today as our boys couldn't get much going against the Mets. Final score ended up being 7-1 in favor of New York. Let's break down the action.First Innings: Early Mets Lead
The Mets struck first in the 1st inning. After back-to-back walks to Vientos and Nimmo, Pete Alonso doubled, scoring Vientos. The rest of the inning was relatively quiet as Martinez and Marte both struck out, stranding three runners. Our bats couldn't respond in the bottom half as Luis Arraez, Jurickson Profar, and Xander Bogaerts went down in order.
Lindor's Big Blast in the 4th
In the 4th inning, things really went south. After Marte singled and advanced on a fielding error by Manny Machado, bases were loaded for Francisco Lindor. He didn't let the opportunity pass, smashing a 417-foot homer to right-center, extending their lead to 5-0. Our guys couldn't chip away against a solid Mets pitching performance, although Xander Bogaerts did manage a single.Padres Finally Get on Board
The Padres managed to get a run in the 5th inning. Kyle Higashioka reached on an infield single and moved to second on a passed ball. Bryce Johnson walked, and Mason McCoy followed with a single to load the bases. Luis Arraez grounded out to third, but it was enough to bring Higashioka home, giving us our only run of the game.
Mets Keep Adding On
Lindor added another homer in the 7th inning, extending their lead to 6-1. Harrison Bader followed suit in the 8th with a solo shot, making it 7-1. Despite a ground-rule double by Jurickson Profar in the bottom of the 8th, we couldn't capitalize. Machado struck out swinging to end the inning, and unfortunately, the 9th inning wasn't any better. David Peralta came in as a pinch hitter but struck out to end it.
Taking It On The Chin
It was a tough day at Petco Park as the boys just couldn't get the offense going against a strong Mets team. We'll shake it off and come back strong in the next one. Let's keep the faith, Friar Faithful!
Go Padres!
