Carlos Carrasco’s woes this season have largely underscored the Mets’ starting pitching inconsistencies.
The veteran right-hander has sprinkled in the occasional gem, but too often his starts have been abbreviated by pitch count or fears of letting him face a batting order for the third time.Sunday he fell somewhere in the middle of that triangle, yanked in the fifth inning after allowing a two-run homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the Mets’ 7-3 loss to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
In four-plus innings, Carrasco allowed three earned runs on nine hits with three strikeouts. It was his third straight start in which he failed to pitch into the sixth inning. Asked to summarize his season, Carrasco said: “I am pretty sure I have had more downs than ups.”Carrasco, who owns a 6.42 ERA, will be a free agent after the season.
“It’s not something we’re thinking about right now,” manager Buck Showalter said. “That would be something that everybody would weigh in on. Carlos has had some competitive outings for us here recently and that has been big for us because with some of the trades we made we are pushing the load around with some of the other guys.
The Mets were robbed of a run the previous inning when Richie Palacios reached above the center-field fence to deprive DJ Stewart of a homer.
