Edwin Diaz gives up grand slam as fading Mets suffer 8-5 loss to the Diamondbacks
Mets Lose Fourth Straight
Diaz Blows Save as Mets' Skid Continues
The New York Mets' struggles continued on Wednesday night as they fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-5 at Citi Field.
Edwin Diaz, who had been lights-out for most of the season, gave up a grand slam to Daulton Varsho in the ninth inning, blowing the save and handing the Mets their fourth straight loss.
The Mets had taken a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning on a Brandon Nimmo single, but Diaz couldn't hold the lead.
The loss dropped the Mets to 75-74 on the season, and they now trail the Atlanta Braves by two games in the NL East.
Mets' Bullpen Struggles Continue
The Mets' bullpen has been a major problem all season long, and it continued to be an issue on Wednesday night.
Diaz has now blown four saves in his last six appearances, and the Mets' bullpen has a 5.06 ERA this season, which is the second-worst in the NL.
The Mets need to find a way to fix their bullpen problems if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
Mets' Offense Struggles to Score Runs
The Mets' offense has also been struggling lately, and they have now scored three runs or fewer in five of their last seven games.
The Mets are hitting just .233 as a team this season, which is 29th in the MLB.
The Mets need to find a way to generate more offense if they want to turn their season around.
Conclusion
The Mets are in a tailspin, and they need to find a way to turn things around quickly.
The Mets have a tough schedule coming up, and they need to start playing better if they want to make the playoffs.
