Moments earlier, David Peralta smashed a 100-mph line drive that deflected off the Mets pitcher and turned into the first out of the inning with Jose Iglesias fielding the ball and throwing to first.
Blackburn’s pitching hand caught the brunt of Peralta’s line drive, forcing him to depart on a night that was already worth forgetting, with the Padres on his pitches almost from the start.
Blackburn was acquired at the trade deadline from Oakland by the Mets after Kodai Senga and Christian Scott hit the injured list. Danny Young worked the next two innings scoreless and Adam Ottavino worked the seventh and eighth and surrendered one run. The Mets missed an opportunity to move seven games above .500, which would have matched their season high. There are still eight games remaining on this road trip, with the sizzling Diamondbacks awaiting after the Mets finish their series with the Padres on Sunday. San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove tosses the ball with his glove to first baseman Jake Cronenworth for the out on New York Mets’ Francisco Lindor.
