But Buck Showalter’s crew needed more than a breakout to survive a strong Blue Jays club that buzzed its way to a sweep.
As the Mets’ bats began to wake up, their pitching became the problem in a 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays to complete a disappointing sweep at Citi Field. A sellout crowd of 42,169 watched the Mets fall back to .500 on a cloudy Sunday afternoon.
The Mets used their power to claw out of a four-run hole, getting a pair of mid-game home runs from Tommy Pham. They tied the game with homers from Pete Alonso and Starling Marte in the sixth inning. In the seventh against Leone, a low-leverage righty arm, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., singled ahead of Brandon Belt, who hammered a slider to dead center to give the Blue Jays a second lead and one they did not blow. The Mets went in order in the eighth and ninth.
Pitching on four days’ rest for the first time after he typically pitched weekly in Japan, Senga walked five and recorded just eight outs.
