WASHINGTON — On pace to lose more than 90 games, the Mets have endured a fair amount of misery, injuries and mistakes this season. Then came Tuesday night and a new nadir.
The Mets lost to the Washington Nationals, 25-4, the most lopsided loss in the team’s 57-year history. Seven Mets pitchers took the mound, and all but two coughed up runs, including the veteran infielder Jose Reyes. In all, the Mets gave up 26 hits, the second-highest total in team history.
“A tough loss,” Mets Manager Mickey Callaway said after the game. “It’s embarrassing. We gotta do better than that.
