Mets Make History, Lose Sweep

0:00On April 27th, Brett Beatty from The New York Metz just made some rough history in Major League Baseball. During Sunday's double header against the Colorado Rockies, he became the first batter ever to see a bases loaded walk flipped to a called third strike. Under the new automated ball strike challenge system, Umpire called it ball four on a full count in the first inning, which would have scored a run for a quick one-nothing lead, but the challenge overturned. It's and ended the frame right there. That calls at the tone for a tough day at the plate. The Metz got challenged four times that inning alone, losing three, and overall players won four out of seven reviews. Colorado took the opener, three-one, behind Jose Quintana's solid five in the third innings, then shut out New York three-nothing in the nightcap, too. Sweet the three-game series. Metz fans are feeling the pain after this sweep, with the team scraping just one run and six hits total across 18 innings. Their bats went cold, only one extra base hit all day, while the pitching held up okay, but couldn't overcome the offense drought.

1:01New York's now dropped 15 of their last 17 games, sitting at nine wins and 19 losses. They designated a veteran for assignment post sweep, and even signed a vet outfielder to shake things up. Looking ahead, the Metz kick off a three-game series against the Nationals Tuesday night at Cityfield. Their first divisional clash, this. Season hoping to turn this skit around before it gets worse.
