Edwin Díaz Blows First Save Since 2022, Mets Swept By Rays

Following losses in the initial two games of the series, the New York Mets (16-18) aimed to clinch victory in the Sunday afternoon finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the offense managed to score when necessary, it fell short as the bullpen faltered in the late stages, resulting in a 7-6 defeat and a sweep by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Right from the start, Francisco Lindor gave the Mets an early lead by smacking his sixth homer of the season off Ryan Pepiot, the Rays’ starter, putting New York ahead 2-0.
