The Mets didn't have enough offense to keep up on Tuesday night, falling to the San Diego Padres, 5-2.
New York's four-game winning streak came to an end with the loss.
-- It didn't take long for New York to go down 1-0 as Fernando Tatis Jr. launched a no-doubt, first-pitch home run off rookie Zac Thornton. Tatis then showed his defensive skills in the second inning, robbing Francisco Lindor of a grand slam for the third out.
The star's big night continued in the top of the fifth inning, blasting a two-run homer off Thornton to make it a 3-0 game.
-- Besides the two home runs, Thornton had a solid outing over 5.0 IP and a career-high 99 pitches (69 strikes). Interim manager Andy Green kept Thornton in the game after the second homer and he powered through to strike out three straight Padres. Overall, Thornton struck out seven and allowed the three runs on six hits and a walk.
