Sarenfield • Buffalo, NY

LHP David Peterson (4-1, 4.26) vs. LHP Hyun Jin Ryu (3-1, 3.19)

Cut • WCBS 880 AM • WQBU 92.7 FM

Sometimes I beat Team 18-1 and lose in the next game 3-2. It’s not ideal, but it happens. And if Mets is aiming for shots in the playoffs, remember that every game is now very important.

That’s where Mets is now. Losing last night did not help their proceedings at all. Mets still has to keep in mind to win every night. They are trying to do it in Buffalo this afternoon.

Jets is also playing Buffalo. 2020 is strange.
