After Sunday’s miserable 9-0 loss to the Rays marked their first time getting swept all year, the Mets are finally facing something resembling adversity.

Shane Baz combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat New York 9-0 to complete the first three-game series sweep of the Mets this season.

NEW YORK — Shane Baz had lots of reasons to smile after Sunday’s outing in which he used his high-octane fastball and a good mix of his curve, changeup and reworked slider/cutter to hold the Mets to three hits while working into the seventh inning.

It was a weekend to forget for the Mets. Sunday afternoon’s 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Citi Field marked the Mets’ most lopsided defeat of the year. It capped the first series in which they’ve been swept all season.

The Rays made it a clean sweep of the previously major league-best Mets on Sunday, rolling to a 9-0 victory. A three-run second inning that included one hit out of the infield, a two-run double by Jonathan Aranda and a three-run homer by Junior Caminero provided most of the offense.

There was a time where they might have made their debuts with the Mets. Instead, they're thriving for a different organization.

NEW YORK — Mets infielder Brett Baty exited Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the moment, with the Mets trailing 6-0, it looked like Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was trying to spark something, pinch-hitting Ronny Mauricio in Baty’s place.
