Another disturbing trend for the Mets is their underperforming offense. After Marte hit the first pitch of the second for a home run, Woodruff allowed one single and walked two over his final six innings. He retired the final 10 batters and handed the Brewers’ bullpen a 3-2 lead going to the eighth.

Marte hit a two-out double against Trevor Megill with two outs in the ninth, and he was thrown out at home trying to score on Jeff McNeil’s single.

“A tremendous throw on one bounce, so you have to give him credit over there,” Marte said through an interpreter after the 3-2 loss to the Brewers at American Family Field. It was the fifth straight Mets defeat and ninth in 10 games.
