Mets Struggle as Peralta Struggles | Toronto Blue Jays News

The Mets crumbled in a 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Canada Day, as rookie slugger blasts his first homer off Freddy Peralta, who struggled through four innings allowing five earned runs. With just five hits and late homers from Lindor and Benge falling short, the team now sits last in their division at 36-51 heading into a critical four-game series against the Braves over the July 4th weekend. Peralta’s performance—down on strikeouts, failing to go deep, and walking three despite a few 99 mph fastballs—has raised questions about his future with the team. As the Mets chase a playoff push, they need consistent pitching and more offense to turn things around before the season’s halfway point.
