NY Post: Mets swept by Mariners as Luis Severino struggles in lopsided loss to end dismal road trip. "The right-hander pitched five innings and surrendered four earned runs on six hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. Severino, who allowed two homers, saw his ERA increase to 4.17."  

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets blown out as Mariners finish series sweep. "...the Mets finished their 10-day, 10-game, four-city road trip with a 4-6 record. They are a half-game behind Atlanta for the last National League wild-card spot as they head into their day off Monday...Jeff McNeil homered off Castillo in the sixth, his final inning. That ended the Mets’ scoreless streak at 24 innings dating to Thursday. Facing one of the worst offenses in the majors, the Mets were outscored 22-1 in the series."  

Anthony DiComo MLB.com: "No Mets team has ever been shut out in all three games of a three-game series. Until this weekend, only a handful had come all that close...Before the Mets dropped their series finale on Sunday Night Baseball, the Phillies, Braves, Brewers, Padres, Pirates and Giants all lost, too."

NY Post: Matt Harvey dominates as Mets blank Rockies. “Manager Terry Collins let Harvey pitch the eighth and get up to 97 pitches in part because it was 1-0 until the Mets scored three in the eighth… [the Mets’ lead increased]…to 2 ¹/₂ games after the Nationals lost Tuesday to the Dodgers. Tejada delivered a run-scoring single to right through the hole vacated by D.J. LeMahieu at second to give the Mets a 1-0 lead. They added some insurance in the eighth against Colorado’s porous bullpen, loading the bases with two outs before Curtis Granderson was walked by Boone Logan to make it 2-0. Juan Lagares’ two-run double gave the Mets a 4-0 advantage and Eric O’Flaherty finished it in the ninth.”

National Pastime.com: Mets outfielders Carlos Beltran and Mike Cameron, running at full speed in an attempt to catch David Ross' seventh-inning short fly to short right-center, dive head-first into each other, causing a horrific on-field collision. Right fielder Cameron, who suffers a broken nose and multiple fractures of both cheekbones, will undergo facial surgery in San Diego, with his teammate faring a bit better, suffering a concussion and a small fracture in his cheekbone.

Tom Glavine (L,8-10) went 3 for 3 with the bat but the other Mets hitters only managed 3 additional hits as Woody Williams (W,6-8) bested Glavine in a pitchers duel.  With the game tied at 1 in the 7th, Joe Randa singled in Damian Jackson, who ran for David Ross after Beltran and Cameron collided, with the eventual winning run.
