The Mets closed out the first half of the season with a performance symbolic of their year up to this point.
They didn’t hit enough, Francisco Lindor made a costly error and Devin Williams couldn’t pick him up as part of a blown save.
David Stearns’ team finds itself 17 games under .500 — their most since they were 18 under in 1995.
Typically, the Mets fall apart after the Midsummer Classic, not before it.
