8/6/25

Game 1:

Both Sean Manaea and Slade Cecconi were on their A game in the first 5 innings, as both were shutting out each other's teams, until the 6th inning. 

That would be it for their great performances as in the top of the 6th, Manaea imploded, allowing 5 runs and 3 hits, and at the bottom of the 5th, Cecconi allowed a 3-run homerun to Alonso, and the score was 5-3 Cleveland.

Things were quiet in the 6th inning, and in the 7th, Lindor, Soto, Alonso, and McNeil all had 4 straight hits to cut the lead to one, and with the bases loaded, Vientos hit a sac fly to tie the game. 

In the top of the 9th, Diaz got out of a man on 3rd and 0 out situation to keep the game tied heading into the bottom of the 9th, but the Mets failed to take the lead after having bases loaded, and the game headed into extra innings.

In the top of the 10th, Cleveland took the lead after a throwing error by Brett Baty after he tried to throw Ramirez out at 2nd, and a sac fly made the score 7-5. Baty was able to add a run in the bottom of the 10th, but it was not enough, and the Mets would lose.

The Mets suffer another loss, bringing their losing streak to 6 games in their last 7.

Game 2:

In the 2nd game of the series, the Mets suffered another tough 1-run loss.

The Mets were able to get in a rhythm early with runs in both the 1st and 2nd innings, with an Alonso sac fly to bring Lindor home in the 1st and a Tyrone Taylor RBI single.

In the 4th, Cleveland was able to tie up the game with a Manzardo and Arias RBI singles. After that inning, Clay Holmes was only able to go one more inning and was pulled after throwing 75 pitches in 5 innings.

In the 7th, Steven Kwan singled to bring home CJ Kayfus and take the lead.

That would end up being the winning run, and the Mets would lose yet again.

Game 3:

Trying to avoid the sweep, the Mets suffered what could have been their most embarrassing loss of the season.

With David Peterson on the mound, he was able to go 6 innings, which is something a Mets starting pitcher since July. In the 6 innings, Peterson gave up 4 runs, 5 hits, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts on 89 pitches. Reed Garrett and Justin Hagenman combined for 3 innings pitched, 0 runs, and 2 hits.

Offensively, it was an embarrassment; the team went a combined 1 for 28 and were getting no-hit for the first 8.1 innings of the game. The only hit came from a Juan Soto solo home run in the 9th.

Embarrassing loss, the Mets have now lost 7 of the last 8.
