Meet the Mets
The Mets offense could only muster one run in their 3-1 loss to the Athletics. Brandon Nimmo provided the entirety of the offense with a solo home run in another futile effort in Sacramento. David Peterson was shaky but limited the damage to just two runs. José Buttó also surrendered a run but the loss is on the offense that managed just five hits. To add injury to insult, Jose Siri left the game mid at-bat when he fouled a ball off of his leg. The Mets still have an opportunity to take the series in the finale when they face off against old friend Luis Severino.
