The New York Mets allowed six runs in the eighth inning Wednesday, and angered pitcher Jorge López was ejected and threw his glove into the stands.
The frustrations are starting to boil over for the New York Mets. They lost again Wednesday, their 24th loss in their last 34 games after being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers. LA scored six runs in the eighth inning after entering the frame tied 3-3.
After the Dodgers went ahead, Mets reliever Jorge López argued a check swing called a ball, and third base umpire Ramon De Jesus ejected López. Lopez untucked his jersey while walking off the field, and the right-hander launched his glove over the protective netting and into the stands, giving a fan a souvenir. Earlier in the inning, López attempted a pick-off at third base, but third baseman Brett Baty wasn't covering, and the throw hit De Jesus.
It was already a bad day for the Mets, who had earlier placed Edwin Diaz on the injured list with a shoulder impingement. Then, Pete Alonso left the game in the first inning after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. The Mets fell to 22-33 on the season, and their schedule isn't getting any easier. They welcome the defending National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend.
This season, though, is much worse. Just two Mets players — Harrison Bader and Francisco Lindor — have a WAR over 1. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
