The Mets (24-35) began their four-game series against the Diamondbacks with a pair of wins, making it seem possible that they just might make a little bit of progress on recovering from an awful stretch of play over the month that preceded the series. Instead, the team lost both the third and fourth games of the series—the former via blowout and the latter via an extremely on-brand loss in a game they could have easily won.
With that, the team enters its three-game series in Washington, D.C. eleven games under .500. The Mets are 5.
