NY Post: Mets swept by Mariners as Luis Severino struggles in lopsided loss to end dismal road trip. "The right-hander pitched five innings and surrendered four earned runs on six hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. Severino, who allowed two homers, saw his ERA increase to 4.17."

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets blown out as Mariners finish series sweep. "...the Mets finished their 10-day, 10-game, four-city road trip with a 4-6 record. They are a half-game behind Atlanta for the last National League wild-card spot as they head into their day off Monday...Jeff McNeil homered off Castillo in the sixth, his final inning. That ended the Mets’ scoreless streak at 24 innings dating to Thursday. Facing one of the worst offenses in the majors, the Mets were outscored 22-1 in the series."    

Anthony DiComo MLB.com: "No Mets team has ever been shut out in all three games of a three-game series. Until this weekend, only a handful had come all that close...Before the Mets dropped their series finale on Sunday Night Baseball, the Phillies, Braves, Brewers, Padres, Pirates and Giants all lost, too."

Mets come home to play the A's, Marlins and Orioles in a 9 game homestand starting tomorrow before going back out West to play the Diamondbacks, Padres and White Sox.

Francisco Lindor says this weekend's series against the Mariners was "very tough"

"We didn't score the first couple days, and then today we only scored one run. It's tough to win games like that, when you don't put runs for the pitching staff." pic.twitter.com/oBfPyKDr99

Francisco Lindor was asked if it's a "relief" for the Mets to be playing their next three series at home:

"Playing in front of our home fans, it's gonna be great. We have a good opportunity, we've just got to maximize it." pic.twitter.com/EBkXQA4vgf

Coming off 2-HR game to finish vs. Rockies, Alonso went 0-for-11 vs. Mariners with 6 K's. Just can't get on an any extended roll this year. Worst part vs. M's is that he looked overmatched against top-notch pitching in several of his ABs.

— John Harper (@NYNJHarper) August 12, 2024

Disastrous weekend for the Mets, obviously. Team-wide hitting funk exacerbated by M's pitching and outstanding defense. They should just be grateful they're still 1/2 game out of WC thanks to Braves' killer loss Sunday; need to get their heads on straight for A's/Marlins at home.

Born on this date:

• Barry Manuel (1965)

Transactions:

New York Mets traded Willie Montanez to the Texas Rangers for Mike Jorgensen and Ed Lynch on August 12, 1979.

New York Mets signed free agent Shingo Takatsu on August 12, 2005.

New York Mets traded Neil Walker to the Milwaukee Brewers for Eric Hanhold on August 12, 2017.

National Pastime.com: 

1969	Ed Kranepool becomes the Mets all-time home run leader for the young franchise when he goes deep off Don Wilson in the fourth inning of the team's 8-7 loss to Houston at the Astrodome. The 24 year-old first baseman passes Jim Hickman, who had 60 round-trippers for the Amazins from 1962-66.
2000	At Shea Stadium, the Giants get two unusual runs in the fourth inning as the Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani catches what he thinks is the third out and gives the ball to a kid in the stands. The mental lapse of not knowing there was only one out in the frame allows both runners on base to score, but the Mets will prevail, beating San Francisco, 3-2.

Baseball Reference:

1977: The Pirates win twice over the Mets, 3 - 2 and 6 - 5. In the 2nd game‚ Mets 2B Felix Millan suffers a broken collarbone in a brawl with catcher Ed Ott‚ ending Millan's 12-year big league career.
