Armando Rodriguez got the start for the Mets. It was his first start of the season having been on the disabled list since Opening Day. Rodriguez was effective in his first start tossing three shutout innings allowing only one hit while striking out five batters. The Mets were able to jump ahead early scoring four times in the second inning. JB Brown tripled in two runs and Wilmer Flores singled in another giving the Mets an early 4-0 lead. After the Blue Jays cut the lead to 4-2 in the fourth, Cesar Puello homered to give the Mets a 5-2 advantage through four innings. From the fifth inning on, the Blue Jays outscored the Mets 7-1 scoring in all but two innings. The Mets bullpen could not hold off the Blue Jay offensive attack. Kyle Allen allowed four runs, Ronny Morla allowed three and Mike Powers allowed two as the Mets could not rally to come from behind.
Juan Lagares led the Mets with three hits and two runs scored. JB Brown had two hits, two RBI and a run scored and Pedro Zapata also had two hits in the loss.
The Mets close out their series with the Dunedin Blue Jays Sunday afternoon at Digital Domain Park. Scott Moviel gets the start for the Mets. Moviel is 4-1 with a 3.38 ERA in nine starts. Moviel has 22 strikeouts to 19 walks while opposing hitters are batting .284 against him in 53.1 innings of work on the season.
