Mets bullpen collapses after Sean Manaea's strong start in rough loss to Reds
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The All-Star break ended Friday. The Mets looked like they still were on vacation until the bottom of the ninth. Advertisement By then, it was too late to salvage their first game out of the break, as some shoddy work by the underbelly of the bullpen left them in too deep a hole to overcome in an 8-4 loss to Cincinnati at Citi Field. After getting four effective innings from Sean Manaea in his first start of the season, the Mets turned to 28-year-old rookie Alex Carrillo, who put the Mets in a sizable deficit and things only devolved from there. Carrillo, in just the third game of his major league career, allowed five runs — including three homers — while retiring just four batters. 4 New York Mets pitcher Alex Carrillo (84) is pulled in the sixth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field on Friday, July 18, 2025.

The Mets scored twice with two outs in the bottom of the ninth before Francisco Lindor popped out with the bases loaded to end it.

Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Advertisement It's been well-established that even with the return of lefty Brooks Raley on Friday, the Mets' bullpen was a mess and a prime target to be upgraded by president of baseball operations David Stearns by the July 31 trade deadline. Friday's mess against a Reds team that's won five of its last six games only emphasized that point and provided a disappointing start to the second half by an inconsistent lineup that entered the break having scored more than three runs just once in the previous five games. 4 New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and New York Mets pitching coach Jeremy Hefner #65 speak with New York Mets relief pitcher Brandon Waddell in the 8th inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement On Friday, the lineup hardly got anything going until one out was left in the game. The Mets started quickly against Cincinnati left-hander Nick Lodolo, as All-Star snub Juan Soto gave the Mets an early lead with a solo homer with two outs in the bottom of the first. They added to their lead in the second when Jeff McNeil knocked in Brandon Nimmo to make it 2-0 before Lodolo settled in and retired 14 of 15 before Nimmo's infield single to start the bottom of the seventh. Lodolo allowed just two runs in seven innings. 4 New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil singles in a run in the second inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Manaea, in his first start and second outing with the Mets this season after being sidelined with an oblique strain, as well as an elbow injury, impressed again. The lefty didn't allow a hit until Austin Hays led off the top of the fourth with a homer that cut the Mets' lead to a run.

Mets place Starling Marte on injured list with bruised right knee, activate Jesse Winker
BALTIMORE — The New York Mets placed Starling Marte on the 10-day injured list with a bruised right knee on Tuesday and activated Jesse Winker, who missed two months with an oblique injury. Marte and Winker play the outfield, but have been used primarily as the Mets' designated hitter. 'It's funny how things work,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'You gain one, you lose one.' Also on Tuesday, the Mets selected the contract of right-hander Alex Carrillo from Triple-A Syracuse and designated pitcher Zach Pop for assignment. Marte had seven hits in his last three games, including three on Sunday as the starting left fielder against the Yankees. The 36-year-old is batting .270 with four homers and 20 RBIs in 58 games. The Mets hope to have Marte back after the All-Star break. 'It was something he was dealing with during spring training and a little bit of last year,' Mendoza said. 'We're going to let it calm down. Talking with him today, he's in a pretty good spot.' Winker, activated from the 60-day injured list, last played on May 4. The left fielder is batting .239 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 24 games. 'He's a big bat, especially from the left side,' Mendoza said. 'You know what you're going to get at the plate. I'm excited to have him back.' Carrillo, signed by the Mets out of the Venezuelan Winter League, has a blistering fastball that has been clocked at 100 mph. 'It's a pretty cool story,' Mendoza said. 'A guy who was in Independent ball last year. I remember getting a call from someone in Venezuela that I know, telling me about this guy. We got him in the organization, and he's in the big leagues now. We're going to give him a good look here.' ___ AP MLB:
