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.

Griffin Canning gave up a season-worst six earned runs and the Mets offense was quiet as they were swept for the first time in a 9-0 loss to the Rays.

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

The Mets had not lost a series at Citi Field since the Arizona Diamondbacks won back-to-back games there on April 30 and May 1.
