In Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Red Sox at Citi Field, the Mets (9-10) wasted yet another quality start from ace Jacob deGrom — don't look so surprised — as Boston swept them over two games here. The Mets were two-hit while striking out 14 times, perhaps their worst offensive performance of the season. The Mets now head into an off day, which could be good (rest and reset before a two-city road trip) or bad (playing every day could help hitters gain a rhythm).

There wasn’t a batter or a pitcher on either Sox who didn’t suffer from at least a few terrible calls, as Morales’ strike zone roamed more than Marco Polo. That also means there wasn’t a batter or a pitcher who didn’t benefit from the crummy officiating, but none of them had a chance to know what the next call might be. Morales did a horrible, horrible job.

One of the Red Sox’s biggest problems in its first series was a lack of balance between pitching and hitting. Outside of its 11-3 loss in the series finale, Boston’s bats were largely silent, especially with runners in scoring position, and left the pitching staff to handle the bulk of the load. But that was not the case Saturday.
