Splitting a series was the worst the Mets had done before the Mariners came to town for three games.
The Mets had not lost a series all season, but that streak sailed when the Seattle Mariners closed out a teeter-totter affair Sunday.
Seattle outslugged New York in the rubber match of a three-game set at Citi Field, winning, 8-7. The Mets had multiple chances to keep their streak alive, as a mammoth home run from Francisco Lindor gave New York a 1-0 edge in the first inning.
