The New York Mets head into 10 straight games against NL East rival Atlanta and Philadelphia after getting swept in a series for the first time this season.
Starter Griffin Canning gave up six runs, four hits and five walks, plus one wild pitch that allowed a run to score.
After Sunday’s miserable 9-0 loss to the Rays marked their first time getting swept all year, the Mets are finally facing something resembling adversity.
NEW YORK — Shane Baz had lots of reasons to smile after Sunday’s outing in which he used his high-octane fastball and a good mix of his curve, changeup and reworked slider/cutter to hold the Mets to three hits while working into the seventh inning.
The Mets’ offense didn’t help their pitchers much either. Despite having traffic on the bases in all but one inning, they failed to score a run. In the end, they left 12 runners stranded and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
Shane Baz se combinó con tres relevistas para permitir solo cinco hits, y los Rays de Tampa Bay blanquearon el domingo 9-0 a Nueva York para completar la primera serie
Tampa Bay’s 17-6 record since May 20 is the best in baseball, and the Rays showed a lot of the reasons why Saturday.
