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 travel day Thursday for the Rays while the Mets were in action completing a series sweep of the Washington Nationals. Jeff McNeil went yard for the seventh time this season to pace the attack against the Nats. The Mets are now 27-7 at Citi Field.

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.

NEW YORK -- — Danny Jansen hit a two-run homer to cap Tampa Bay's six-run sixth inning and the Rays came back to beat the Mets 7-5 on Friday night and snap New York's six-game winning streak.

Takeaways from Sunday's game between the Mets and Rays, a 9-0 loss in which right-hander Griffin Canning regressed and Tampa Bay's pitching blanked New York's offense.

The New York Mets head into 10 straight games against NL East rival Atlanta and Philadelphia after getting swept in a series for the first time this season.
