When it rained, it poured at Citi Field.
Oh, and Wednesday’s game also wasas I’ve seen at a ballpark in nearly four decades. The precipitation was so heavy that the outfield fence was not visible from the pressbox, the sixth Great Lake formed down the left-field line within a matter of minutes and the slapping of the rain on seats and concrete was making discernible noise.

This stuff changes rapidly over a long season, of course. If you can remember all the way back to June 11, the Yankees crushed the Royals 10-1, still had the majors’ best record and were seemingly ready to improve further with Gerrit Cole near a return. The Mets opened a homestand with a loss to the feeble Marlins that dropped them to 28-37 and in the moment it felt like a statement that there was just no “on” switch to their season. to complete a two-game Subway sweep and get to .
But so much around him is collapsing. The Yanks had lost just three of their first 22 series, but have now lost four straight. They are 2-8 in the last 10 with a ghastly 7.24 ERA after allowing the 21 runs in two games against the Mets. For most of the season, the rotation had performed well and covered innings to camouflage a troubling pen. Now both entities are struggling. .
Francisco Lindor doubled on an 0-2 pitch leading off what became a three-run third, and Brandon Nimmo worked a walk after being behind 1-2. Two full-count walks finished Gil off in the fifth — and brought on the worrisome pen. Caleb Ferguson allowed an RBI double to the only batter he faced, then came a one hour, 27 rain delay and Yoendrys Gomez came on to get crushed. If Gil needs a break, there is not much maneuverability. Clarke Schmidt and Cody Poteet are far from a return.
