Mets Swept by Mariners in Three-Game Series

The New York Mets faced a dismal weekend in Seattle, suffering a 12-1 defeat against the Mariners, culminating in a series sweep where they scored only one run across three games. Jeff McNeil's solo home run in the sixth inning ended a 24-inning scoreless streak for the Mets. Luis Severino struggled on the mound, allowing four earned runs and increasing his ERA to 4.17, continuing a trend of inconsistency this season. The Mariners' Cal Raleigh excelled with two home runs, while Seattle's pitchers combined for an impressive strikeout performance, dominating the Mets' offense. With this loss, the Mets finished their 10-game road trip at 4-6 and remain in contention for the National League wild card, trailing Atlanta by half a game. They will look to regroup at home against the Oakland Athletics starting Tuesday.
