J.D. Martinez Named as Mets’ Fix After Brutal Guardians Sweep originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If there’s any consolation for the New York Mets’ extended summer swoon, it’s that the rest of baseball is focused on the crosstown Yankees’ horrific second-half collapse.

Here are three takeaways: The Mets were subject to repeated booing while getting no-hit for 8 1/3 innings in their 4-1 loss Wednesday, with attention now being turned to hitting coaches Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes. They were also no-hit for the final five innings of Tuesday’s loss.

But then again, nearly getting no-hit is also a pretty ineffective plan. Right-hander Gavin Williams no-hit the Mets through 8 1/3 innings on Wednesday afternoon at Citi Field as the Cleveland Guardians completed a three-game sweep with a 4-1 win.
