Mets' Carlos Mendoza 'Not concerned at all' after Edwin Díaz turns in rough outing

Not a lot went right for the New York Mets on Wednesday. They were blanked by the Miami Marlins, 5-0, snapping their six-game winning streak as they were even held without a hit until the bottom of the sixth inning.

The Mets also saw their All-Star closer, Edwin Díaz, struggle mightily in his latest outing when he came into the ninth inning hoping to keep the deficit at two runs. Díaz's command, however, was anything but efficient.

After walking leadoff batter Xavier Edwards and uncorking a wild pitch that advanced Edwards to second, Díaz gave up a one-out RBI single to Jonah Bride and a two-run homer to Matt Mervis, which made the score 5-0 and put the game out of reach for New York. Díaz was eventually removed in favor of Danny Young after issuing another walk to Griffin Conine; the Mets' closer threw 30 pitches, but only 16 of them were strikes.

Despite his struggles and noticeable decrease in velocity, manager Carlos Mendoza is not ready to press the panic button yet after Díaz turned in his worst outing of the young season.

"We've seen it at times with him, but then he's got the ability to come right back and execute three perfect pitches," Mendoza said. "Sometimes he's gonna let one go, or he's gonna bounce one, but we've seen it where he finds it and before we know it, he's throwing six nasty sliders or five fastballs in a row, that's who he is, but I'm not concerned about that."
