The Mets lost to the Detroit Tigers 5-0 in 10 innings after being swept three games to none by the Milwaukee Brewers in a controversial series.
According to Mike Puma of The New York Post, the Mets are off to their first 0–4 start in a season since 2005:
“The Mets’ first 0-4 start to a season since 2005.”
In just ten innings against the young Tigers on Monday, New York’s bats managed a pitiful five hits. Nonetheless, the Mets’ pitchers were effective, keeping Detroit scoreless and allowing just one hit until the sixth inning.
However, in the extra inning, the Tigers scored five runs in the 10th inning against Mets reliever Michael Tonkin, who hit a batter, gave up a single, and allowed Detroit catcher Carson Kelly to hit a three-run home run.
Online, Mets supporters are responding as expected:
Beaker86 – “The Mets have held a lead for a total of One inning in their first four games.”
Kap – “It’s time to evaluate Steve Cohen ownership They lose about as much as the teams under the Wilpon led Mets”
Ivan L – “Mets could have used Sidd Finch in extra innings for this April 1st game.”
Mark Purcell – “Will be very surprised if the Braves don’t beat us by double digits every game this season”
NY Mets and Rangers fan – “Every game is like 4th and long in our own end and on comes the punt team”
Patrick H. – “When was their last 0-5 start??? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow”
