Mets can’t overcome poor 2nd half of season, miss playoffs with season-ending loss at MiamiBy Canadian Press on September 28, 2025. MIAMI (AP) — The New York Mets entered Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Miami Marlins with a singular goal: win. New York could not overcome a four-run fourth by the Marlins, and the Mets were eliminated from the playoff field with a 4-0 loss. Mendoza had been adamant during the series in Miami that the Mets put themselves in that position with their poor second half of the regular season. But starter Kodai Senga injured his hamstring in that game, which seemed to mark a turning point in the Mets’ season.
