Coming off one of their best stretches in the past two months, the Mets have quickly turned back into the team that looks like it’s capable of finding ways to lose games as often as possible. The offense has not been a problem over the past week or so, but aside from Jacob deGrom’s dazzling start in the series opener in Colorado, the pitching has been very, very bad.
Last night, the Mets scored three runs in the first, and after Seth Lugo gave up one in the bottom of that inning, they responded by scoring another in the top of the second.
