WATCH: New York Mets fans erupt with boos after a horrific 8th inning by the team 

The New York Mets have been losing a lot of games this season for a number of reasons, most of which are now well-known. As time passes the booing at Citi Field only gets louder.

On Saturday night, the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the struggling Mets 5-1. This was due to a tie-breaking RBI from David Peralta, who avoided a potential eighth inning-ending double play by beating out the back end.

New York Mets fans were incensed after the eighth inning, roundly booing their players. See the video below:

Tony Gonsolin, the starting pitcher for the Dodgers, went five innings and only gave up one run on two hits, one walk, and three strikeouts.

In six innings, Mets starter Kodai Senga allowed just one run on four hits, two walks, and nine strikeouts.

The Mets are struggling for confidence this season, which can be seen in their most recent loss. They are 42-50 and fourth in the NL East.
