Things have been rough for the Mets in recent weeks. On April 21st, they were 14-7 and sitting pretty with two games left on their West Coast road trip. But since that moment, they’ve seemingly forgotten how to play consistently good baseball.
New York has posted a 4-13 record since Joey Lucchesi tossed a gem in his big-league return from Tommy John surgery. And there have been some uninspiring losses mixed in there. They’ve been shut out on four different occasions, were swept by the Detroit Tigers, and were nearly swept by the Washington Nationals. The Mets haven’t won a series since taking two of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers from April 17-19.
