Mets manage just three hits, shut out by Dodgers for sixth straight loss

The Mets dropped their sixth straight, as they were defeated by the Dodgers 4-0 in Los Angeles on Monday night. Here are some takeaways... - David Peterson 's struggles continued from the get-go, as he allowed the first four Dodgers to reach on two walks, a HBP, and an RBI single.

He was able to rebound nicely after a mound visit, though, striking out the next three batters on 11 pitches to somehow limit the damage to just one run against. Peterson picked up two more strikeouts in a perfect second, but the Dodgers got to him again in the third. The lefty almost danced around two more walks, until Andy Pages crushed a 2-0 hanging slider for his fifth homer of the season.

He worked around a one-out double in the fourth, then ended his night by stranding runners on the corners in the fifth. Peterson's ERA is now up to 6. 41 after allowing four runs on five hits and four walks with seven strikeouts.

- Unfortunately for the Mets, when it rains, it pours, as their offense continued to struggle, as well. Lefty Justin Wrobleski came into the game with a 4. 74 ERA through his first nine career outings, but he was in complete control all night, facing the minimum through 7.
