Mets’ offense stays silent, pitching starts limping as it gets ugly
Jason VargasMILWAUKEE — In remembrance of the iconic sitcom set in this city, these are “Unhappy Days” for the Mets.
Their season may have jumped the shark Sunday, when starting pitcher Jason Vargas departed with “mild” left hamstring tightness and a makeshift lineup stagnated.
At least this Mets disappointment took only nine innings in a 3-2 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park that completed Milwaukee’s three-game sweep. It came a day after the teams played 18 innings, with the Mets losing on Ryan Braun’s two-run single against Chris Flexen.
