Adrian Houser’s latest flop sinks Mets in second straight loss to Cardinals
NY Post
New look, same bad results.
The Mets premiered their City Connect uniforms Saturday and aside from looking like knockoff Colorado Rockies, they played like it, too, in a 7-4 loss to St. Louis at Citi Field.
Adrian Houser was miserable for a third time in five starts as a Met and the offense couldn’t overcome his poor outing, as they lost for the fifth time in six games to fall back to .500 (13-13).
It came against a Cardinals team that had lost five of six before beating the Mets in Queens to open the series Friday.
Trailing by three in the bottom of the ninth, the Mets loaded the bases before Francisco Lindor popped out to end it.
Houser was bad again, this time getting off to a brutal start after he’d alternated decent outings with terrible performances in his first four starts as a Met, when he was good at home and bad on the road.
