Ryan Weathers was torched for five runs over 4 2/3 innings on Monday in a no-decision against the Pirates.

Weathers looked like he was going to be on the hook for a loss after giving up a go-ahead homer to rookie slugger Esmerlyn Valdez in the third inning. Fortunately, New York’s offense rose to the occasion and backed him with a touchdown and a two-point conversion to overcome the early deficit. He posted five strikeouts and issued two walks. He’s worked past the fifth inning just once in his last four starts and has allowed 15 runs over 15 2/3 innings during that span. He’ll face a tough test with a challenging road matchup against the Phillies on Saturday to close out a two-start week.
