MMO\u2019s Brandyn Pokrass\u2019 excellent recap is here<\/a>. Brandyn was at the scene<\/a> of the Mets\u2019 crimes against hitting all weekend.<\/p>\n The last-place Mets (22-31) were shutout for the sixth time this year and scored two runs in three games in Miami over the weekend. New York is last in the majors in OPS (.642) and have scored the second-fewest runs in the National League, ahead of only the Giants.<\/p>\n \u201cWe ran into some good pitching and we ourselves were not at our best,\u201d Marcus Semien<\/a> said.<\/p>\n One bright note:\u00a0Christian Scott<\/a> had his best and longest outing of the season, tossing 5 2\/3 scoreless innings and striking out five. Scott\u2019s ERA is 3.20 over 25 1\/3 innings. He is decisionless this season and winless in 15 career starts.<\/p>\n After finishing a 2-5 road trip, the Mets start a six-game homestand Monday with Nolan McLean<\/a> (2-3, 3.57 ERA) on the mound against the Reds. McLean gave up a career-high six earned runs his last time out. LHP Nick Lodolo<\/a> (0-1, 7.20 ERA) goes for Cincinnati. Game time is 4:10 p.m. After three games with the Reds, the Mets will host the Marlins over the weekend.<\/p>\n Sam Navarro-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Latest Mets News<\/p>\n Carlos Mendoza<\/a> was asked how the Mets recover.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, we got no choice, right?\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, we\u2019re scuffling. We got a lot of guys that are going through it right now. We\u2019re not grinding at-bats. When you look at it, two hard-hit balls, Baty and A.J., other than that \u2026 we got to figure it out. You got to be able to score runs.\u201d<\/p>\n Mendoza said before the game that Jorge Polanco<\/a> was going to take at-bats in Port St. Lucie Sunday and \u201chopefully\u201d could go on a rehab assignment \u201cpretty soon.\u201d He said he had no news on Luis Robert Jr.<\/a>\u00a0(back).<\/p>\n Juan Soto<\/a> was out Sunday with an illness that Mendoza said he was battling for three days. He said the slugger showed up with a fever and was dealing with body aches.<\/p>\n Latest MLB News<\/p>\n Chris Taylor<\/a> officially retired, \u201cclearing up any confusion,\u201d by making the announcement official on his Instagram. The 12-year veteran\u2019s retirement was first reported on Friday, but on Saturday MLB.com reported that he changed his mind and was going on the minor-league injured list because he suffered a fractured forearm on an HBP in Triple-A.<\/p>\n Reid Detmers<\/a> struck out 14 Rangers and retired 24 of 25 batters in the Angels\u2019 2-1 win. He became the second player in Angels history to strike out 14 while allowing one or fewer hits in an outing. The other player was Nolan Ryan<\/a>, who did it three times, twice in no-hitters.<\/p>\n Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a> was removed from the Blue Jays\u2019 game Sunday with a right elbow bruise after he was hit by a pitch. X-rays were negative and manager John Schneider<\/a> said he could play Monday. Toronto starter Dylan Cease<\/a> also left the game after pitching 4 2\/3 innings with mild left hamstring pain. He will have an MRI test done and a decision on whether he makes his next start will be made in the next two days, Schneider said.<\/p>\n Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet<\/a>, who went on the injured list with shoulder inflammation on April 29, will throw batting practice off the Fenway Park mound on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Dodgers utility man Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> is expected to make his season debut Monday. He had left elbow surgery last fall.<\/p>\n Rockies LHP Jose Quintana<\/a> was pulled from his start in the second inning Sunday with left elbow pain.<\/p>\n Latest on MMO<\/p>\n The offense was MIA over the first two games in Miami. I had more details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jack Ramsey wrote up<\/a> the minor-league action from Saturday. AJ Salgado<\/a> hit his seventh homer for St. Lucie.<\/p>\n On This Date in Mets History<\/p>\n 2021: With the whole Opening Day starting outfield on the injured list (Michael Conforto<\/a>, Kevin Pillar<\/a> and Brandon Nimmo<\/a>), as well as backups Albert Almora<\/a> and Johneshwy Fargas<\/a>, the Mets trade a minor-league pitcher to the Brewers for outfielder Billy McKinney<\/a>. He hits five homers in 39 games for New York before being dealt to the Dodgers for a minor-league pitcher in July.<\/p>\n 2015: Bartolo Col\u00f3n<\/a> earns the win with six innings of three-run ball and goes 1-for-2 in a 6-3 victory over the Phillies. Lucas Duda<\/a>, Michael Cuddyer<\/a> and Wilmer Flores<\/a> homer.<\/p>\n 1979: John Stearns<\/a> singles home Lee Mazzilli<\/a> with two outs in the ninth to tie the game at 3. In the 11th, Pirates outfielder (and future 1986 Mets hitting and first-base coach) Bill Robinson<\/a> loses Joel Youngblood<\/a>\u2018s fly to left in the fog at Shea Stadium, the umpires stop play and the game is declared a tie after a 73-minute delay.<\/p>\n Born on This Date: Neil Ram\u00edrez<\/a> (1989), Eric Young Jr.<\/a> (1985), Scott Hairston<\/a> (1980), Jim Marshall<\/a> (1931).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3169-scaled.jpeg\")
