The road woes continued for the Mets as they dropped two of three in Seattle. New York (27-35) is 12-20 away from Citi Field and hasn’t won a road series since taking two of three in Colorado about a month ago.

The Mets won the finale to give them good vibes before a day off Thursday. And up next on the road trip is the slumping Padres, who have lost four in a row, eight of 10, and are in Philadelphia on Thursday to finish their own six-game trip. So the well-rested Mets will catch a team coming off a cross-country flight.

Sounds like as good a chance as any to turn things around. But that is something to look forward to this weekend. First, let’s take a look back at the good and the bad in this edition of 3 Up, 3 Down.

3 Up

Signs of Life

Bo Bichette‘s .590 OPS ranks 158th in MLB of 165 qualified hitters. But on Wednesday, he broke an 0-for-16 stretch with a four-hit performance. He stroked singles to left, center, and right and caught a break with an infield hit on a well-placed chopper. One of the singles came with the bases loaded and drove in two to break a 1-1 tie. We have been through this before with Bichette this season, but maybe this is the game where he returns to the form that made him a two-time All-Star in Toronto.

Back in the Swing of Things

Jared Young hit a 424-foot homer in the series opener to tie the game at 1-1 in the fifth. He went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in the finale. And he looked smoother at first base than Mark Vientos, whom we will get to later. The 30-year-old is 6-for-24 with two homers since returning from left knee surgery.

Dream Weaver

It was seven up, seven down for Luke Weaver in two appearances. Carlos Mendoza brought him into a tie game with a runner on in the seventh on Monday, and he got Dominic Canzone to foul out. Then he pitched a perfect eighth with a strikeout of hot rookie Colt Emerson. In a less-pressurized setting, he fanned two in the eighth on Wednesday with the Mets up 7-1.

Weaver hasn’t allowed an earned run since April 30. He has struck out 27 and walked eight in 27 innings for the season.

3 Down

Tong Ticketed for Triple-A

Jonah Tong was literally sent down after a poor showing in the 8-3 loss on Tuesday. He allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits. He walked two and gave up a three-run homer to Jhonny Pereda, a 30-year-old journeyman catcher with 148 career at-bats pressed into action because of an injury to Cal Raleigh.

“It just boils down to that second and third up,” he said after pitching 3 1/3 innings. “Just got to do a better job.”

Off the Mark

Vientos went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and hit into a double play for the series and made a key error in the loss on Tuesday. He has made a league-leading four errors at first base in 46 starts there.

“I’ve got to give myself a little bit of props because last month just a lot of bad luck,” he said, referring to his hitting. “The inconsistency is not something that I want. I’m pushing for better results, working with the coaches and trying my best to be the best version of myself right now. It’s not happening, but I’m working for it for sure.”

Brett’s Bat Quiet

Seven Mets combined for 14 hits in the victory on Wednesday. Brett Baty went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts to finish the series 1-for-12 with five Ks. He grounded into a double play with a runner on first and nobody out in a tie game in the eighth on Monday. He’s hitting .227/.296/.330 for the season with three homers after a solid 2025 that raised expectations.
