Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsThe Mets ’ offense had been invisible during a four-game losing streak heading into Wednesday night’s middle game with the Oakland Athletics, but it had found itself immediately behind the eight ball more often than not with a struggling stable of starting pitchers.
Out in Seattle, Jose Quintana imploded in the seventh inning, allowing three runs to put the Mariners out of sight in the series opener on Friday — a 6-0 loss. After giving up eight runs against the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 4, he gave up five in Seattle. Even Sean Manea, who was coming off a two-start stretch in which he allowed zero runs in 14 innings pitched with 21 strikeouts, lasted just three innings against the Mariners where he yielded three runs on four hits in a 4-0 loss on Saturday.
“It’s one of those where they’re going through it right now,” Mendoza said. “Our starters are not getting length and then we’re getting behind early in games as well. We’re having a hard time getting back. It’s just one of those where it’s one time through… It’s a part of 162 because they’ve been so good for us.
