Mets drop first series of season as rally falls short in loss to Mariners - New York Post

The number of MLB teams who haven’t lost a series this season was reduced to zero Sunday. .

In this case the Mets were largely cooked by their bullpen, but one more hit in the ninth inning might have excused that in an 8-7 loss to the Mariners at Citi Field. .

The Mets nearly added another fantastic finish to their list of great comebacks this season, scoring twice in the ninth before Pete Alonso struck out against Diego Castillo with the bases loaded to end it. .

The Mariners, who won two of three, became the first team to win a series against the Mets this season.

The stretch without a series loss was the longest to begin a season in franchise history. .

Starling Marte struck out against Castillo for the second out and Francisco Lindor was intentionally walked before Castillo ran the count full to Alonso, who tried to check his swing on a slider and was called out.

The Mets had rallied with two outs in the ninth to score five runs and win in St.

“We’ve been playing extremely good baseball and that is something really to be proud of,” Alonso said, referring to the stretch of series without a loss before Sunday
