On Father's Day, the Mets faced a disheartening 9-0 loss against the Tampa Bay Rays at Citi Field, leading to the team's first sweep of the season. Pitcher Griffin Canning struggled significantly, allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings, deteriorating from earlier effectiveness to resemble his poor performance last season. With only a few highlights, including Ty Adcock's four strikeouts and Jared Young's pitching appearance, the game was disappointing for the 42,804 fans, many of whom might have preferred another Sunday outing.
The Tampa Bay Rays sent the Mets to their first sweep of the season with a 9-0 victory at what might have been the quietest sold-out game in Citi Field history.
Real Mets pitcher Griffin Canning, who was charged with six runs in 4 1/3 innings, continued his descent from surprisingly effective to looking more like the guy who had a 5.19 ERA for the Angels last season.
