Player Meter: Pitchers, June 6-12
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports A quick review of how the Mets’ pitchers fared over the past week.

The bullpen also lost Colin Holderman, who had been pitching so well, to a shoulder impingement, which hopefully won’t result in a prolonged absence. However, it isn’t all bad this week. Both Taijuan Walker and...

The Angels on the other hand jumped on Taijuan Walker in the bottom of the first, as Brandon Walsh doubled to deep right and came around on a single by Mike Trout. Down 1-0 two batters...
