Analysis

Pfaadt allowed two runs in the second inning including a leadoff solo home run to Pete Alonso and things completely imploded in the fifth. The Mets began the inning by reeling off five straight hits against Pfaadt, leading to three more runs before he was eventually pulled with the bases loaded. Jordan Montgomery, who was recently demoted to the bullpen, came in for him and allowed another three runs before finally getting out of the frame. Tuesday was Pfaadt's first loss since June 19 despite holding a 6.29 ERA over his last six starts. For the year, he owns a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 145:32 K:BB in 154.2 innings. Pfaadt lines up to face the Dodgers at home this weekend.
