Mendoza & Blackburn react to another Mets ugly loss to lowly A’s

The road trip from hell has ended, but the Mets brought their hellish skid home with them.

Carlos Mendoza’s crew had built-in excuses over a 10-games-in-10-days, four-city voyage that ended with three smackdowns in Seattle.

They had no such alibi on Tuesday when they began an important, nine-game homestand with the kind of faceplant that Pete Alonso experienced in the sixth inning.

A 9-4, series-opening loss to the AL West-worst A’s in front of 31,923 at Citi Field meant the Mets have been outscored 31-5 over this four-game losing streak in which their hitting has not done enough and their pitching has been destroyed.
