Overview

  • The Mets have dropped 13 of their last 16 games and were outscored 30-4 in a three-game sweep by the last-place Pirates.
  • New York sits 1.5 games behind the Phillies in the NL East and holds only a half-game lead over the Brewers for the top Wild Card spot.
  • Veteran outfielder Brandon Nimmo said a players-only meeting after Saturday’s 9-2 loss allowed teammates to “put things out there.”
  • According to SNY’s Andy Martino, team executives continue to back the major league coaching staff despite mounting fan criticism.
  • Star shortstop Francisco Lindor said a mental off day is vital before the Brewers, winners of eight of their last ten games, arrive for a three-game series at Citi Field.
