The New York Mets (42-50) offense was a no-show again in another ugly 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers (53-38) at Citi Field on Saturday night. With the loss, the Mets have dropped four straight, falling nine games back from the final wild-card spot in the National League.
After producing just one hit in Friday’s shutout loss, New York was held to three hits. Brandon Nimmo plated the lone run with his 14th home run of the season.
On top of the offensive struggles, the Mets were sloppy in the field. Brett Baty and DJ Stewart both committed errors.

Kodai Senga was one of the only bright spots as he tossed six innings of one-run ball while striking out nine.
Adam Ottavino and Grant Hartwig surrendered runs out of the bullpen.
The Mets will try to avoid the sweep on Sunday with Max Scherzer toeing the rubber. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:40 p.m.
