The New York Mets rebounded from their season-high seven-game losing streak with two straight wins, but for the fourth time this season they failed to complete a three-game sweep.
The Mets’ previous three attempts to complete sweeps ended in a 23-5 drubbing in Washington, a 7-0 loss at home to Miami and a 6-5 defeat against San Francisco, a game they led going to the top of the ninth inning.
On Sunday, the Mets lost 12-5 to the Angels. Tommy Milone allowed five runs, including a grand slam to C.J. Cron, before retiring a batter in the first.
