On Wednesday in Citi Field, Mason Thompson took the mound with a 7-6 lead over the New York Mets, and the 23-year-old right-hander, who was acquired from the San Diego Padres at the July 30 trade deadline in exchange for Daniel Hudson, gave up a leadoff double on a 98 MPH 1-1 sinker to J.D. Davis, then threw one by Josh Bell at first base after fielding a bunt by Jonathan Villar, allowing the tying
Villar advanced to second on a throwing error, advanced to third on a James McCann groundout, and then scored on a Brandon Drury soft line drive to center field, 8-7 Mets.
The Mets won the first of three games this week in Flushing, Queens, despite Thompson’s efforts.
When questioned about what went wrong on the mound in NY, Thompson stated, “Obviously, starting with J.D. Davis, I felt like I missed out over the plate.” ”
[Davis] did an excellent job of striking the ball down the line in the opposite direction. And then there was clearly a major blunder there, but I felt like I did a nice job of continuing to fight after that.
After that, I didn’t necessarily smash a ball as hard, and I gave up a few hits.
