J.D. Martinez Named as Mets’ Fix After Brutal Guardians Sweep originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If there’s any consolation for the New York Mets’ extended summer swoon, it’s that the rest of baseball is focused on the crosstown Yankees’ horrific second-half collapse.

Here are three takeaways: The Mets were subject to repeated booing while getting no-hit for 8 1/3 innings in their 4-1 loss Wednesday, with attention now being turned to hitting coaches Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes. They were also no-hit for the final five innings of Tuesday’s loss.

The Mets came close to recording their first hit in the seventh inning, when third baseman Mark Vientos hit a line drive to right field. Unfortunately for Vientos, Guardians right-fielder C.J. Kayfus timed the ball perfectly, making a diving stop to rob him of a base hit.
