Griffin Canning gave up a season-worst six earned runs and the Mets offense was quiet as they were swept for the first time in a 9-0 loss to the Rays.

But Tampa Bay came to Citi Field and hung three straight losses on them — 7-5, 8-4 and 9-0. So the Mets have only their second three-game losing streak of 2025. Here are three takeaways from the series: The Mets began Sunday with the majors’ top ERA for starting pitching at 2.82.

Shane Baz combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat New York 9-0 on Sunday to complete the first three-game series sweep of the Mets this season. Baz (6-3) allowed three hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings while striking out six and throwing a career-high 106 pitches.

After Sunday’s miserable 9-0 loss to the Rays marked their first time getting swept all year, the Mets are finally facing something resembling adversity.

It was a weekend to forget for the Mets. Sunday afternoon’s 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Citi Field marked the Mets’ most lopsided defeat of the year. It capped the first series in which they’ve been swept all season.
