Familia moving forward after 2 straight rough outings

NEW YORK -- Not 15 minutes had passed since the worst series of Jeurys Familia's season had concluded, and the Mets' closer was already searching for answers late Sunday night at Citi Field.

New York's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers marked the second consecutive poor outing for Familia, who surrendered four runs in a rough ninth inning on Friday. Curtis Granderson bailed him out with a walk-off homer then, but Familia received no such help in the series finale.

Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez provided the tiebreaking single off Familia, lacing a 2-1 fastball to center field to plate two runs.
