The number of MLB teams who haven’t lost a series this season was reduced to zero Sunday.
In this case the Mets were largely cooked by their bullpen, but one more hit in the ninth inning would have excused that in an 8-7 loss to the Mariners at Citi Field.
The Mets nearly added another fantastic finish to their list of great comebacks this season, scoring twice in the ninth before Pete Alonso struck out against Diego Castillo with the bases loaded to end it. For Shreve, it was a second appearance in as many days in which he allowed a game-tying homer — Jesse Winker hit a three-run blast against him the previous night. Smith, who began the season with 13 ¹/₃ shutout innings, has now been scored upon in consecutive appearances.
Alonso singled leading off the inning and Mark Canha walked, before Davis delivered with a shot to right field against Robbie Ray for a triple. After Escobar walked, Nimmo delivered with two outs, bringing in the runs with his triple. Lindor had provided the Mets with a first-inning lead by blasting a 423-foot solo homer into the second deck in left field.
