Mets can’t buy a big hit as they’re swept by Boston

The Mets arrived in New York early on Wednesday morning after sweeping the Red Sox over two games in Boston and punishing their pitching staff to the tune of 15 runs. It appears the Mets forgot to pack their bats for the trip home, as their offense completely vanished in these past two games, especially with runners in scoring position. In total, the team went 4-for-24 over the two nights in those situations, including 1-for-10 in tonight’s loss.

Steven Matz did not look as sharp tonight as he did in his first start of the season, although he was mostly able to side-step trouble.
