Mets Lose Another 1-Run Ball Game, This Time to Nationals

 NATIONALS 2 - METS 1 

We all know the Mets season is all but over at this rate, but can this offense figure things out? 

The Mets were once again punch-less, managing only four hits against the scraps of the Washington Nationals. The Mets were so putrid offensively that they were 0-for-1 with runners in scoring position and left only three men on base. They couldn't get anyone on against the likes of Paola Espino and company. 

To make matters worse, the Mets had the heart of their order up in the bottom of the ninth inning and did absolutely nothing with it. 

Pete Alonso walked, Francisco Lindor grounded into a fielder's choice, and Javier Baez grounded into a double play. Ball Game over. 

Three All Star players, and nothing as a result. 

New York has now lost 12 of its last 14, and they look like a team completely and totally lost in all facets of the game. The month of August where the Mets are 6-19 in, can't end sooner for this disaster of a team in the second half.
