PHOENIX — The lone positive during this Mets freefall has been strong starting pitching. But Friday night even Seth Lugo wandered aimlessly through the desert to get devoured by coyotes.
Lugo has been the team’s best pitcher not named Jacob deGrom. On this night he presented few if any mysteries to the Diamondbacks in the Mets’ 7-3 loss at Chase Field.
The Mets lost for the 12th time in 13 games to fall 10 games below .
