LHP Sean Manaea got the start as an "opener" and had a scoreless bottom of the first and and picked up the first two outs in the bottom of the second and was then taken out.
RHP Husacar Brazoban came in next and picked up the last out in the bottom of the second and the first two outs in the bottom of the third and was then taken out.
LHP Brooks Raley had to come in and picked up the last out in the bottom of the third and one out in the bottom of the fourth and a single and was then taken out.
RHP Ryne Stanek followed and gave up a RBI double by 1B Eric Wagaman and two batters later, a RBI double to catcher Brian Navarrerto and was then taken out.
RHP Tyler Rogers came in next and gave up a RBI triple to LF Javier Sanoja and a RBI single to CF Xavier Edwards.
RHP Edwin Diaz followed with two scoreless innings in the bottom of the fifth and sixth.
RHP Ryan Helsley threw a scoreless bottom of the seventh,
LHP Gregory Soto threw a scoreless bottom of the eighth.
The Met offense did nothing all game with five hits and went 0-8 with runners in scoring position.
They had their best scoring chance in the top of the fifth after 3B Ronny Mauricio, SS Francisco Lindor and RF Juan Soto all walked to load the bases, but 1B Pete hit a hard line-out to left-center fielder that went 115.9 mph off the bat, but was caught by Sanoja.
This will go down as one of the most disappointing seasons in Mets history after a hot start until June 13th, but played poorly for the last three months due to the depleted pitching staff/bullpen and inconsistent offense.
It will be interesting to see what moves are made to improve this roster.
Thank you everyone for supporting and reading my posts all season long and continue to look out for posts during the offseason.
Until next season, LGM!
