On the heels of a players-only meeting they hoped could help stem their rapid descent into the abyss, the Mets instead suffered their 13th loss in the last 16 games.

The Mets were outscored 30-4 across three games and were swept away by the Pirates on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh.

New York manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected in the fourth for arguing balls and strikes. Following their 12th loss in 15 games, the Mets held a players-only meeting in the clubhouse.
