"Try to stay positive," is about all Mets starter Sean Manaea could offer after the 11-9 loss to the Mariners. It was another rough night for Brooks Raley and the bullpen, allowing seven runs and 10 hits over the final four innings.

For Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, having a bullpen with the experienced depth the team acquired before the trade deadline should be a huge advantage but the group "hasn't been able to get the job done."

He credited starter Sean Manaea with grinding through five innings despite being hit hard but reiterated, "we have to play better baseball."
