ATLANTA \u2014 Not only were the Mets bloodied Wednesday night, but they took a potentially stinging hit to the right side.<\/p>\n

The scramble to fill the starting rotation became more pronounced as David Peterson departed the mound with the trainer in the fourth inning, ending a brutal performance. The left-hander exited with right side soreness, adding injury to insult in a 20-2 loss to the Braves at Truist Park.<\/p>\n

Though Peterson has struggled for much of the season \u2014 his ERA surged to a 5.40 after a performance in which he allowed five earned runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings \u2014 the Mets are already trying to survive with razor-thin rotation depth.<\/p>\n

Missing pieces include Carlos Carrasco, Noah Syndergaard, Joey Lucchesi and Jordan Yamamoto, with rookie Tylor Megill recently thrust into a rotation spot. If Peterson needs an injured list stint, the Mets will have to dig even deeper and perhaps look toward Corey Oswalt, who has looked sharp in a long-relief role, or perhaps test Thomas Szapucki, who entered in relief and surrendered six earned runs in 3 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings in his major league debut. Albert Almora Jr., was summoned from center field to pitch in the eighth and allowed three earned runs over two-thirds of an inning. The Mets began the night with a plus 16 in runs differential. They ended it at minus two.<\/p>\n

The game<\/a> turned into a runaway in the fourth, when the Braves scored seven runs. Most of the damage came against Sean Reid-Foley, an extra reliever added to the roster this week with Marcus Stroman on the bereavement list following the passing of his grandmother. Reid-Foley recorded only one out and allowed five runs on five hits and one walk.<\/p>\n

The Mets lost for the 10th time in 16 games, failing to capitalize from the momentum of a comeback victory on Tuesday night. Their NL East lead has shriveled to two games, as the Nationals continue a surge.<\/p>\n

Pete Alonso\u2019s two-run homer in the first against Max Fried got the Mets headed in the right direction, but it all went downhill from there.<\/p>\n

Peterson had provided the Mets with three straight solid performances following a clunker in Baltimore three weeks ago, but got jumped from the start. Ronald Acuna Jr. blasted a homer leading off the game for the Braves and before the inning was complete a second run had scored on Ozzie Albies\u2019 RBI single.<\/p>\n

Austin Riley delivered a two-run single in the third that gave the Braves a 4-2 lead. Peterson had struck out Acuna to begin the inning but then walked Freddie Freeman and surrendered a single to Albies, who stole second.<\/p>\n
