Mets vs. Braves Game 68 Recap

The New York Mets lost to the Atlanta Braves 6-0 to lose their third consecutive games and get swept in the 3 game series. RHP Jacob deGrom gave up 3 runs in 6 innings to take the loss. He gave up 5 hits and gave up one walk. He had 5 strikeouts. DeGrom has now gone nine consecutive starts without a win. He has not gotten the run support he needs in order to pick up any wins in the last 9 starts. It's frustrating that degrom has had his great starts wasted by the ineptitude of the offense. After deGrom was taken out, LHP Antonio Bastardo came in and gave up 2 runs in the seventh inning. RHP Hansel Robles gave up a run in the eighth. The offense managed  just 1 hit off Braves starter RHP Julio Tehran who pitched a complete game shutout. The Mets scored  only 4 runs in 3 games in this series. They need to do something to get the offense going again. LF Michael Conforto might have to get sent down to Triple-A. He has struggled for almost 2 months. They could also call up 2B Dilson Herrera. They need to make moves soon before it's too late and the NL East and the wild-card race is too far out of reach.
