Worse was Reed Garrett pitching poorly and Brooks Raley then being unable to tightrope walk the Mets out of the inning. One underlying statistic involving Pete Alonso can help explain a big part of it. Pete Alonso has scored 2 runs all month, both came on home runsHis two home runs against the Detroit Tigers are the only times Alonso has crossed the plate for the Mets. It’s not as if he hasn’t had chances to score runs either. Your regular number three hitter getting stranded and not providing the team with runs with his bat does help explain a lot, though.
