Mets Hit Rock Bottom in Doubleheader Sweep

0:00On April 26th, the Mets hit rot bottom Sunday with a double-header sweep by the Colorado Rockies at City Field, dropping both games to fall to nine, wins and 19 losses. That's tied for the worst record in the majors with the Phillies, and it caps a three-game series loss to a team sitting near the bottom of the standings. Over 18 innings, New York scraped together just one run on 10 hits, going 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranding. Game 1 slipped away three to one after an error loaded the bases in the six, leading to a key run against the bullpen. The offense got just four hits, a former Met Jose Quintana and the Rocky staff. Then Game 2 was a three-nothing shutout, highlighted by Chase Dallander's seven strong innings, with a 98.6 mile per hour fastball. Fans let the booze rain down all day, from squander chances in the eighth of Game 1, to Kodai Senga's early exiting Game 2. Manager Carlos Mendoza called it a bad showing and stressed the need to fix the damage against good pitches.

1:04The Met's have now lost 15 of their last 17, scoring one run or fewer in 10 of 28 games. Pitching mixed results too. Nolan McLean dropped to one and five in his starts despite a sharp 2.55 ERA thanks to thin run support. Senga struggled again, allowing three runs and under three innings to sit at zero and four, with a 9.00 earned run average. Missing stars like Francisco Lindor and Jorge Palanco didn't help the lineup. McLean stayed up beat in the clubhouse, saying it's just a matter of time before the bats wake up, and the teams ready to fight back hard. With a nightmare start behind them, the Met's know they got to turn this around quick to climb out of the NLE spaceman.
