PHOENIX -- Jose Reyes let out a low sigh, working through the puzzle in his head. Just a week ago, the Mets were winning regularly despite their injuries, despite their issues. Then they shuttled off to LaGuardia Airport, caught a flight to Milwaukee and have not won since.
The Mets' seventh straight defeat, a 5-4 walk-off loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, capped the team's first winless road trip of at least six games in 18 years. Their starting pitchers have not recorded an out in the seventh inning in 19 days. Their relievers have not responded well to heavy workloads.
