"The Mets' nightmarish homestand ended with a whimper, as they were shut out for the second time in three games and swept away by the Athletics 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field."
"Athletics starter Aaron Civale stymied the Mets for the first 5.2 innings, allowing all four hits with three strikeouts and zero walks, and four relievers combined to hold the Mets without a hit."
"Manager Carlos Mendoza said, 'Tough homestand overall offensively. You come back from that road trip feeling good about the way you're swinging the bat... and then you have a hard time scoring from there.'"
"Freddy Peralta fought through a season-high six innings, allowing one run on four hits with six strikeouts and three walks, but was saddled with a hard-luck loss."
