Mets pitchers struggle as season approaches the All-Star break
Summary

The New York Mets' pitching staff continues to face challenges as the All-Star break approaches. Nolan McLean and Christian Scott stand out as consistent players in the rotation, while Zach Thornton had a strong performance over seven innings against the Red Sox, despite not earning the win. Devin Williams struggled as he blew a save in a recent game, contributing to ongoing concerns within the bullpen. Huascar Brazobán and Freddy Peralta also faced difficulties, with Brazobán having a particularly poor outing, leading to uneven results for the pitching unit overall.
