Edwin Diaz faced a rough outing giving up a grand slam that handed the Mets another loss, marking his second consecutive disappointing performance that cost them a win.
Despite entering the eighth inning hopeful, the Mets faltered under pressure. Diaz, tasked with a four-out save, walked the first two batters and fell victim to a grand slam.
Luis Severino struggled again, failing to impress outside matchups against weaker teams. His 4.2-inning performance allowed four earned runs, underlining a disturbing trend in his pitching.
One bright spot was Starling Marte's aggressive base running, turning what should have been an out at the plate into the go-ahead run through a smart slide.
