Carson Benge<\/a> went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. So did A.J. Ewing<\/a>. The Mets were one out away from getting one-hit on Saturday before Tyrone Taylor<\/a> doubled and Mark Vientos<\/a> singled to spoil a shutout.<\/p>\n

The offense was missing in Miami for a second straight game as the last-place New York Mets (22-30) lost 4-1<\/a> in front of 21,071 at loanDepot park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past couple games, we\u2019ve faced some good pitching,\u201d Vientos said after going 2-for-3 (The rest of the Mets were 1-for-26). \u201cObviously, we haven\u2019t done what we wanted at the plate. But you got to give credit where credit is due. The pitchers that we\u2019ve faced, they\u2019ve been doing their thing. We\u2019re gonna just come tomorrow and come back strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

One day after Eury P\u00e9rez<\/a> threw 6 1\/3 innings of one-run ball, Max Meyer<\/a> struck out eight over seven scoreless frames. The Mets have scored one run on three hits in back-to-back games. They struck out 11 times on Saturday and drew three walks. On Friday, it was 10 strikeouts and one walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou got to keep going,\u201d Carlos Mendoza<\/a> said. \u201cYou can\u2019t sit here and feel sorry for yourself. Yeah, we get frustrated at times, but you got to continue to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mets have scored the second-fewest runs in the National League (206, 3.96 per game; only the Giants are worse) and are slashing .228\/.293\/.352 (.645 OPS) as a team, which ranks the following, respectively: 26th, 29th, 30th, and 30th in the league. For comparison, in 2025, the Mets finished sixth in the National League in runs and scored 4.73 runs per game. The team slashed .249\/.326\/.427 (.753 OPS) which ranked 14th, sixth, eighth, and sixth, respectively.<\/p>\n

Still, it appeared that New York was finding a flow before coming to Miami. The Mets scored 37 runs on a six-game homestand that ended last Sunday and then exploded for a season-high 16 runs on Monday in Washington.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of potential offense on the injured list with Francisco Lindor<\/a>, Jorge Polanco<\/a> and Francisco Alvarez<\/a> all out. But those reinforcement are all a ways away from returning.<\/p>\n
