\n Robert Gsellman went back to the bullpen Tuesday and it couldn\u2019t have gone much worse. He exited with a left oblique strain in the eighth inning, but not before giving up six runs in 3\u00b2\/\u2083 innings in relief of Michael Wacha in an 11-2 loss to the Orioles.<\/p>\n

Gsellman threw 76 pitches out of the pen, 24 more than he had in his last app<\/a>earance in his ill-fated time as a starter and 19 more than any other outing this season.<\/p>\n

Manager Luis Rojas said he didn\u2019t believe the added workload caused the injury, saying Gsellman was stretched out for the role.<\/p>\n

He had to be helped off the field with two outs in the eighth, but Rojas said Gsellman seemed better following the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a scary moment, watching him walk off the mound in pain,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what we can find out [Wednesday].\u201d<\/p>\n

Amed Rosario was the shortstop again after four days on the bench. Rojas insisted Rosario\u2019s return wasn\u2019t simply because the Orioles had left-hander John Means on the mound. <\/p>\n

Regardless, each of Rosario\u2019s last four starts have come against southpaws and lefty-swinging Andres Gimenez shifted from short to second base.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not seeing it as that,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said when asked if it was a platoon at short. \u201cWe\u2019re putting together the best lineup each day.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s working,\u201d Rojas said of Rosario. \u201cHe\u2019s taking his extra ground balls and he\u2019s locked in. He wanted to be ready whenever he was going to get the chance again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

With Dom Smith sitting against the lefty Means, Pete Alonso was back at first base after three games as the DH.<\/p>\n

Rojas said Alonso and Robinson Cano would get the majority of time at DH time the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

And that might not be bad news<\/a> for Alonso and the Mets.<\/p>\n

Entering Tuesday, Alonso had a .988 OPS in 35 plate appearances at DH and a .751 OPS in 136 plate appearances while at first base. And that was before Alonso went hitless against the Orioles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do pay attention to how guys are in the DH spot,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said before the game. \u201cFor some of those guys on an NL team, they\u2019re used to being out on the field and Alonso and Cano like being on the field. They are the DH more than other guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rojas said he was not aware of Alonso\u2019s numbers as the DH and said he would keep a bit of a rotation with Smith and J.D. Davis \u2014 who was the DH Tuesday \u2014 in the mix.<\/p>\n

Cano, meanwhile, wasn\u2019t in Tuesday\u2019s lineup. He entered hitless in his previous 17 at-bats, including 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Smith has hit all kinds of pitching this year, but is significantly better versus righties than lefties. Still, in his previous four games, the lefty-swinging Smith was 8-for-18 with four doubles and six RBIs.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Jeff McNeil homered for a third consecutive game. It\u2019s the second time he\u2019s done so in his career. \u2026 Brad Brach tied a career-high with four strikeouts.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Wilson Ramos, who had struck out in six of his previous eight at-bats, got the start behind the plate Tuesday because of his success against left-handed pitching and a familiarity with Tuesday\u2019s starter, Michael Wacha, but Rojas said Robinson Chirinos has also impressed since his arrival. <\/p>\n

Rojas said both backstops have shown an ability to \u201csteal strikes\u201d on low pitches, which is important with a pitching staff that has plenty of pitchers that like to pitch down in the zone.<\/p>\n

Chironos, according to Rojas, is \u201ca little more athletic\u201d behind the plate and that he\u2019s \u201cbeen diligent\u201d about learning the staff since being traded from the Rangers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me that was his mission,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said of Chirinos learning the staff.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
