This marked the team's third consecutive loss in June, contributing to a dismal 3-13 record over their last 16 games. Frankie Montas Jr.'s poor performance was notable as he allowed five runs in the first inning, reflecting ongoing struggles for the Mets, who faced their worst series loss in franchise history. Despite a players-only meeting aimed at motivating the team, their efforts fell short as they faced significant defensive and pitching challenges.
"After consecutive contests where New York fell behind in the second inning, starter Frankie Montas Jr. allowed five runs in the first inning to a Pittsburgh squad averaging the fewest runs in the National League."
"The Mets were outscored 30-4 in the series their most lopsided series defeat in franchise history and conceded nine or more runs in three straight games for the first time since 2007."
