July 19th 2014 -- Padres 6, Mets 0

Saturday night at Petco Park, the Friars got solo homers by Yasmani Grandal, Will Venable and Seth Smith as the Padres snap the Mets 4 game winning streak beating the Mets 6-0.  Dillon Gee started for Mets and gave up 2 of the long balls and fell behind early allowing a run in the 2^nd, two in the 3^rd and a run in the 4^th.  The Padres made it 5-0 in the 6^th when Smith homered off Carlos Torres. A passed ball by Travis d’Arnaud in the 8th allowed the 6^th run to score.  Tyson Ross had the Mets guessing all night long. Ross lasted 7 innings allowing 4 hits walking 3 and striking out 6. He gets the win improving to 8-10. Gee went 5 allowing 5 hits, 4 runs (all earned) and struck out 8 suffering the loss. He falls to 4-2.  The Mets are shut out for the 8^th time this year. On the night the Mets only managed 5 hits. Their biggest threat came when they loaded the bases in the top of the 7^th, but Ruben Tejada struck out to end the threat. With the loss the Mets fall to 46-51 and 21-28 on the road. Sunday afternoon it’s the rubber game of this series Zach Wheeler (5-8  3.90) goes for the Mets, Odrisamer Despainge (2-1  1.35) goes for the Padres.
