After another disappointing road trip that ended in an epic meltdown on Sunday, the Mets had an opportunity to start fresh at home against the Brewers on Monday. Unfortunately, it was more of the same story.
Justin Verlander pitched in and out of trouble all night but exited after five shutout innings. Drew Smith entered and immediately gave up a two-run homer. That’s all the Mets’ pitching staff would allow, though. So obviously, that means the offense was nowhere to be found in a 2-1 loss.
Is the season over yet?
