“#Edwin Diaz crumbles as Mets suffer one of their worst losses<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Citi Field was alive and roaring as Edwin Diaz struck out his second consecutive batter Sunday to escape a bases-loaded jam in the eighth.<\/p>\n

An inning later, the morgue became open for business.<\/p>\n

Asked to retire five batters, Diaz got to four before wilting in the ninth, sending the Mets into the All-Star break with a gut-wrenching 6-5 loss to the Pirates.<\/p>\n

If it wasn\u2019t the Mets\u2019 worst loss of the year, it\u2019s certainly in the conversation.<\/p>\n

Diaz surrendered a go-ahead RBI single to Wilmer Difo, after John Nogowski\u2019s two-out single moments earlier had tied the game<\/a>. The Mets, who had squandered a five-run lead, then went meekly in the bottom of the ninth to finish with a split in the four-game series<\/a> against an underwhelming cellar dweller<\/p>\n

The struggle to get 27 outs \u2014 with Aaron Loup going two innings as a fill-in starter \u2014 was real for manager Luis Rojas, who tried to get a second scoreless inning from Miguel Castro. But after the right-hander allowed consecutive singles in the eighth, Diaz was the option \u2014 for a five-out save.<\/p>\n

Diaz walked Rodolfo Castro, who had already homered twice, to load the bases. The right-hander then got a gift call from plate umpire Jeremie Rehak, who punched out Michael Perez on a 2-2 slider that was several inches off the plate. Next was Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes, who struck out to end the threat.<\/p>\n

The Mets broke out early, using homers from Francisco Lindor and Michael Conforto in the first inning to take a 5-0 lead against Chase De Jong. Lindor smashed a two-run homer after Brandon Nimmo\u2019s leadoff double, and Conforto, following walks to Dominic Smith and Jeff McNeil, unloaded with a three-run blast. But the Mets went quietly for the remainder, totaling only four hits after the first inning.<\/p>\n

Castro\u2019s second homer of the game, a two-run blast against Jeurys Familia in the sixth, pulled the Pirates within 5-4. Familia escaped the inning with the lead, but the Mets still had to get another nine outs.<\/p>\n

Loup was thrust into a starting role for the first time in his major league career and gave the Mets two scoreless innings in which he allowed two hits. The left-hander had app<\/a>eared in 437 games a reliever over 10 seasons without a start.<\/p>\n

Jerad Eickhoff, whom the Mets selected from Trip<\/a>le-A Syracuse before the game to provide the team with length from the bullpen, kept the lead at 5-0 into the fifth before surrendering consecutive homers to Castro and Michael Perez.<\/p>\n

After Adam Frazier singled and Kevin Newman bunted for a hit, Familia entered with two outs and bounced a wild pitch that moved runners to second and third before retiring Bryan Reynolds to end the threat.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
