The New York Mets would like to restart the month of June. They've gotten off to a terrible start, going 1-8 and being swept in two series already. They're coming off a Friday night loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where they were caught throwing the ball around the infield.Scoring runs hasn't been so much the problem. The problem is that the Mets can't stop other teams from scoring runs. Since May 27th, they are 0-4 in games where they have scored seven or more runs.Bob Nightengale@BNightengaleThe #Mets were 54-3 since 2022 when scoring 7 or more runs up until May 27.They since are 0-4 when scoring at least 7 runs, losing 10-7 and 11-10 to the #Rockies, 13-10 to Atlanta and 14-7 to the #Pirates.9911The #Mets were 54-3 since 2022 when scoring 7 or more runs up until May 27.They since are 0-4 when scoring at least 7 runs, losing 10-7 and 11-10 to the #Rockies, 13-10 to Atlanta and 14-7 to the #Pirates.The 14-7 loss to Pittsburgh marks New York's seventh straight. Starting pitcher Tylor Megil gave up a career-high nine runs, and his defense didn't give him any help.The team has an ERA of 4.80, ranking them 26th in the league. They have also given up 310 runs on the season so far, the seventh-most of any team in the league."Their pitching is absolutely terrible" - one fan tweeted.Donnie Stephenson@DonaldStevie25@BNightengale Their pitching is absolutely terrible.1@BNightengale Their pitching is absolutely terrible."They are streaking!

They designated Tommy Hunter for assignment and sent Zack Muckenhirn to Triple-A. They called up John Curtiss and Josh Walker, hoping things will change.The New York Mets can't keep underperformingTampa Bay Rays v New York MetsThe New York Mets generated a ton of hype in the offseason by signing guys like Kodai Senga and Justin Verlander. The team's pitching staff was considered its strong suit, but it's been the opposite.Verlander doesn't look like the same pitcher who won an American League Cy Young Award last season. He has a 2-3 record with a 4.85 ERA on 39 innings pitched.Another pitcher struggling out of the gate is Carlos Carrasco. He has a 2-2 record with a -0.3 WAR and a 5.94 ERA.On top of a struggling pitching staff, the Mets will be without one of their best players for a while. Slugger Pete Alonso landed on the IL with a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist. He's likely to miss three to four weeks.Things are not looking good for the Mets. Some players need to step up to bring a change for the team.
