Whether the problem is due to a 36-year-old arm or the new faster pace of the game, one thing is clear: The Mets have an issue with Carlos Carrasco.
Marte stayed in the game — momentarily — and was stranded at third when Lindor and Pete Alonso struck out and was then replaced by Luis Guillorme to start the second.
Francisco Alvarez, in his first major league at-bat of the year, came through with an RBI single to right on a 1-2 count to make it 3-1. Carrasco briefly rebounded after the De La Cruz homer to retire the next eight batters before a leadoff walk to De La Cruz in the fourth. McNeil walked with one out in the fourth and Escobar doubled him to third before Alvarez struck out. Locastro blooped a fly ball to left, where De La Cruz made a sliding catch to save at least a run, as the Mets fell to 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
