Morning Briefing: Mets Lose Seventh Straight, Drop Another Series
Good morning, Mets fans!
Tuesday’s pitching matchup between Nolan McLean and Yoshinobu Yamamoto went as advertised, but it resulted in another Mets loss.
The Mets (7-11) fell 2-1 to the Dodgers as the offense continued to slump. Francisco Lindor led off the game with a homer, and New York never found the runs column again.
The Mets have now lost seven in a row and the first two of the three-game series in L.A. They’ll try to salvage the final game of the series and end this ugly skid at 10:10 p.m. ET on Wednesday. It’ll be Clay Holmes (2-1, 1.50) facing Shohei Ohtani (1-0, 0.00 ERA).
