Two games into the second half of the 2025 season and the New York Mets wasted no time reminding us of a common fan frustration. An early exit from Sean Manaea on Friday, in part due to him still coming back from injury, left them twirling in the wind hoping for the best with Alex Carrillo on the mound. It didn’t go well.
The story wasn’t much different on Saturday. Clay Holmes failed to get through the sixth inning. Reed Garrett entered and a wide throw by Ronny Mauricio spoiled an opportunity to get out of things cleanly.
