Admits to Self-Imposed Pressure After Consecutive Relief Implosions

New York Mets reliever Luke Weaver admitted he is putting too much pressure on himself following consecutive poor outings. Weaver, who is in the first year of a two-year, $22 million contract, struggled significantly in Saturday’s eighth inning, allowing four earned runs on three hits and a walk. These recent implosions have contributed to the Mets' current downward spiral, as the veteran right-hander looks to regain the form that earned him his multi-year deal and stabilize the bullpen.
