The team missed an opportunity to sweep the Miami Marlins in their home-opening series Sunday, falling by a score of 7-2.The loss dropped New York to 5-5 on the season, seeing them miss out on an opportunity to stay hot on the heels of the National League East-leading Atlanta Braves.Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was shelled by the visiting Marlins, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks while throwing 83 pitches in just 4-2/3 innings of work.New York Mets@MetsFINAL: #Mets 2, Miami 732432FINAL: #Mets 2, Miami 7New York Mets fans are fully anticipatory of dominating the competition this season after spending $353.5 million on player payroll for 2023. The fanbase was relatively pleased as the Mets took the first two games of the series against the Marlins to pull a game above .500. However, Sunday's loss sent Mets Nation into another fit of despair.Ethan G 8@888_ethan@Mets12@Mets https://t.co/4q7xh4ckY6Nick@Nickgee111@Mets Sunday punt games are so back30@Mets Sunday punt games are so backfanatico depresivo de los marlins #16@marlinsJDF16@Mets20@Mets https://t.co/EGkurxCCvpCarrasco failed to impress for the second time in his two starts this season.After going 15-7 with a 3.97 ERA last season with the Mets, he is now sitting at 0-2 with an 11.42 ERA in 2023. With the injuries already amassed by the Mets — in Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana — New York needs more out of the 36-year-old Carrasco than he is currently offering. He has lasted a paltry 8-1/3 innings combined through his two starts.Nick Cruz@Nick_Cruz10@Mets Can’t say I’m surprised.
