Later, the Mets needed two position players, Brandon Drury and Kevin Pillar, to pitch the ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p>And if all that wasn\u2019t enough, awaiting the Mets (after their cross-country flight late Sunday night) on Monday in San Francisco? The team with the best record in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers (72-46) ambushed Carrasco, who now owns a 10.32 ERA after four starts as a Met. Ex-Met Justin Turner crushed a two-run homer to left-center field before Will Smith added a two-out solo shot for a 3-0 lead in the first inning. It was Smith\u2019s third home run of the series \u2014 the first gave the Dodgers a lead in the 10th inning Friday night and the second broke up Taijuan Walker\u2019s no-hitter and tied the game in the seventh inning on Saturday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Cody Bellinger led off the second inning with a double ripped to the gap and then scored on Trea Turner\u2019s RBI double. Muncy came up next and made it 6-0 with a two-run homer sent 420 feet to left field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey hit everything, man,\u201d said Carrasco, who needed 57 pitches to record six outs. \u201cI tried to do my best. I tried to do everything that I could, but it didn\u2019t work this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the Mets wasted a two-on, one-out scenario in the first inning, a Dodgers error put runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the second. Carrasco laid down a sacrifice bunt \u2014 with manager Luis Rojas not turning to a pinch hitter from his four-man bench \u2014 but Brandon Nimmo followed with a groundout to strand runners at second and third.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/New_York_Mets_v_Arizona_Diamondbacks.1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"Brandon Drury\" class=\"wp-image-19140860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/New_York_Mets_v_Arizona_Diamondbacks.1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/New_York_Mets_v_Arizona_Diamondbacks.1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=500 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption>Brandon Drury came in to pitch for the Mets in their blowout loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Sabo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even after Carrasco hit for himself, Jake Reed relieved him to begin the third inning and delivered three scoreless innings to help save an already tired bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets finally pushed a run across in the third inning on a groundout by Jeff McNeil to make it 6-1.

That\u2019s the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mets got two runs back in the seventh inning off the Dodgers bullpen, but they came on a wild pitch and a J.D. Davis sacrifice fly to get within 9-4. The Dodgers then hung another three-spot in the eighth inning off Geoff Hartlieb before adding two more runs off Drury in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gotta turn the page,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cIt\u2019s just one game.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
