The Rangers’ bats were loud early, and the Mets’ were quiet late.
Trevor Williams buried the Mets in a hole they never climbed out of in a 7-3 loss to Texas in front of 26,494 at Citi Field on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
The Rangers’ four home runs, including three in the first four innings — two of them from right fielder Kole Calhoun — were enough to sink the Mets, who were held scoreless after the fourth inning and finished 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Mets had jumped out in front in the first inning on Starling Marte’s eighth homer of the season, a two-run shot. But they went from a two-run edge to a two-run hole that proved insurmountable.
The Mets scored just one run after the first inning, on an Eduardo Escobar home run in the fourth. This time the third baseman, who hasgotten hot, crushed one from the right side of the plate after he had gone deep from the left side on Friday.
