NEW YORK -- The New York Mets, mired in a nightmare season spiraling out of control, were walloped with a one-two punch minutes apart Wednesday afternoon before losing another game with a late-inning meltdown.

First, the club placed struggling closer Edwin Diaz on the injured list with a shoulder impingement moments before the first pitch against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Then came the second blow: All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso exiting the series finale in the first inning when he was hit on the right hand by a pitch.
