The New York Mets and Miami Marlins closed out their series on Wednesday at Citi Field in New York. Coming in with six straight wins, the Mets were looking to keep the win streak alive and extend it to seven.

Instead of their win-streak being extended, the Mets suffered a 5-0 shutout loss to Miami and were held to just two hits. The Mets fall to 8-4 on the season as the Marlins improve to 6-6.

Right-handed pitcher, Max Meyer (0-1, 2.16 ERA) got the ball for the visiting Marlins against right-handed pitcher, Tylor Megill (2-0, 0.63 ERA) for New York.

Megill battled it out on the mound through four innings, giving up five hits, three walks, and struck out seven through the four scoreless. But the Marlins were able to get to Megill in the fifth. He gave up two singles in the fifth before Carlos Mendoza went to his bullpen and turned the game over to Max Kranick with runners on first and second and one out. Those runners later came around to score, but were unearned runs due to a fielding error by Brett Baty earlier in the inning.

Those two runs stood through the eighth inning as Kranick, Ryne Stanek, and Huascar Brazoban kept the Marlins’ offense from doing any further damage. The three relievers did not give up a run and struck out an accumulated five batters.

Edwin Díaz pitched the ninth for New York and was unable to make it out of the inning. He gave up three runs on two hits, two walks, and a home run to allow the Marlins to extend their lead to five before Danny Young came in to finish the inning and send the game to the bottom of the ninth.

Not much happened for the Mets offensively on Wednesday. Meyer no-hit the Mets through the first five innings before giving up a single to Francisco Lindor in the sixth that broke up the no-hit bid and a single by Pete Alonso in the seventh. Those two hits were all the Mets did offensively as the Marlins went on to shutout the Mets 5-0 to send the Mets on the road with a loss instead of a series sweep.

STAT OF THE GAME

Kranick has now retired 27 batters on only 91 pitches to begin his career with the Mets.

PLAYER FOCUS

Brett Baty’s struggles have continued. Baty was on fire during spring training in Port St. Lucie. He batted .353/.441/.745 with four home runs, six doubles, a triple, 11 RBIs and 14 runs scored. But since spring, he’s been silent at the plate. So far this season, he is 3-for-27 with no RBIs, no runs scored, no walks, and has struck out 11 times.

Baty also committed a key error on Wednesday that led to two unearned runs.

ON DECK

The Mets will now hit the road for six games. They have a day off on Thursday before beginning a three-day series against the Athletics in their temporary home of Sutter Health Park, which has a capacity of just 14,000 fans.
