One night after snapping their five-game losing streak, the Mets were unable to build on that brief success by falling to the Dodgers, 4-1, on Friday night to open a four-game series.
The Mets (60-61) have lost six of their last seven games to begin a 13-game stretch against the Giants and Dodgers. They also fell a season-high five games behind the first place Braves in the NL East.
Taijuan Walker struggled in a pair of rough innings that allowed the Dodgers to put up a four-spot over the Amazin’s.
