Al Leiter got shelled by the Marlins last night; and while the 22,226 fans at Shea were sweating because of the 90-degree | heat, the Mets might be sweating after seeing their highly paid, 37-year-old starter fall even deeper into his extended funk.
Leiter lasted just 5 2/3innings, allowing eight hits and eight runs – seven of them earned. He’s still 8-4, but no numerical makeup could gloss over the way he’s been pitching of late.
