Norichika Aoki led off the game with his 8th homer on the year,  Then three batters later Khris Davis hit a 2 run shot, his 12th and the Mets were playing catch up. Torres recovered and went scoreless the rest of his outing going 6 innings allowing 7 hits 3 runs, all earned he walked 1 and struck out 7 taking the loss.
