NEW YORK — Mets infielder Brett Baty exited Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the moment, with the Mets trailing 6-0, it looked like Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was trying to spark something, pinch-hitting Ronny Mauricio in Baty’s place.

Mets ace Kodai Senga will be out for some time due to the hamstring injury he suffered last week while trying to cover first base.

Shane Baz combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat New York 9-0 to complete the first three-game series sweep of the Mets this season.

In his own words, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is “frankly never really concerned about having too much” starting pitching, because he’s been around long enough to know there’s no such thing.

NEW YORK — Shane Baz had lots of reasons to smile after Sunday’s outing in which he used his high-octane fastball and a good mix of his curve, changeup and reworked slider/cutter to hold the Mets to three hits while working into the seventh inning.

Mets Fans Upset After Sean Manaea News on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea had his best season ever last year, but 2025 has been a different story thus far. The 33-year-old is still rehabbing an oblique injury and has yet to make a big-league appearance.

Carlos Mendoza made a compromise. The Mets manager wanted to give Francisco Lindor a rare day off on Sunday as the shortstop continues to deal with a fractured pinky toe. But Lindor wasn’t having it.
