New York MetsvsSeattle Mariners
NYM 3/SEA 8
Things to say
Mariners beat the Mets 8-3 at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Mariners took it to the Mets, 8-3. Seattle just kept piling on at home. Mets never really got into it.
02
key player
Whoever started for Seattle got into his stuff early — Mets bats looked late all night.
03
hot take
Mets are 26-35 and it's June. That season's basically cooked.
04
deep cut
Mets manager went to the pen too early in the middle innings and Seattle made him pay — heart of the order teed off.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow — we'll see if New York can salvage anything before they fly out.
The recap
Mariners took the Mets to the woodshed in Seattle, 8-3, and it wasn't really close after the middle innings. New York's starter couldn't find the zone and the manager went to the pen too early, which is when the heart of the order made him pay.
Seattle's bats kept stacking crooked numbers while their guy got into his stuff and cruised. Mets drop to 26-35 and look like a team running on fumes.
