Diamondbacks get to Matz early, pound Mets to take series

The Mets continued on their road to nowhere Sunday, who lost for the 17th time in their last 21 road games, concluding a brutal and frustrating 2-5 West Coast swing by getting bombed by the Arizona Diamondbacks in a lethargic, non-competitive 7-1 game in the desert.

Coming off of a second late-game meltdown of the road trip Saturday night, the Mets made sure this game didn’t involve any late game drama by falling behind early and not putting up much of a fight thereafter.

Steven Matz has had his troubles in the first inning this year, and those continued in a brutal way Sunday.
