Overview

  • The Mets were shut out 9–0 in Sunday’s finale, marking their first home sweep loss of the season and managing only five hits.
  • Griffin Canning lasted just 4.1 innings, allowing six earned runs and walking five batters in a performance that strained a bullpen already showing cracks.
  • Rays right-hander Shane Baz delivered 6.2 scoreless innings while former Mets Jake Mangum and reliever Eric Orze provided timely offensive and pitching support.
  • Kodai Senga has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain and is expected to miss approximately 15 days on the injured list.
  • After a 27–9 home start through 36 games, the Mets open a six-game road trip at Atlanta on Tuesday facing renewed scrutiny over their pitching depth and offense.
