PHILADELPHIA – If the loss is a disease, the Mets over the past decade have been largely malaria.
With Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, the Mets (70-82) were assured of an eighth losing season in 10 years, which is the worst in the history of franchise.
Noah Syndergaard was flat in four innings and the Mets' lineup was strangled by the Phillies for a second night in a row.
The Mets also experienced eight losing seasons in 10 years, from 1974 to 1983, a time largely considered the darkest age in the organization's history. Unlike this sequence, the Mets have reached the playoffs twice – including the World Series in 2015 – during this roller coaster decade.
Earlier this week, the Mets were eliminated from the NL East and Wild Card races. He comes after the Mets started the season with a better record of 11-1.
Syndergaard (12-4) allowed three points. Rhys Hoskins had a solo defeat in the first run before the explosion of Odubel Herrera in the fourth inning completed the score against Syndergaard.
When he left for the Red Sox on Friday, the right handed seven innings in which he allowed three hits. Syndergaard's last defeat came on Aug. 17, also at the Phillies.
