They couldn't hold a 2-0 lead and lost in extra innings in the opener, 5-2, and they got shut out in the nightcap, 3-0. Over 19 innings of baseball in the two games, the Mets managed two runs on seven hits.
For the year, the Mets have scored 94 runs in 29 home games for a 3.24 rpg. In 25 road games, they've scored 130 runs for a 5.20 rpg.
Francisco Lindor hit a two-run homer for the Mets' only runs. Tylor Megill was magnificent with seven shutout innings in G1, with 9 Ks.
If you submitted this storyline to Hollywood, it would get rejected for not being realistic. Yet it's happening and it nearly defies description at this point. It feels like it would require a minor miracle to get back to .500 by the end of the year.
