Mets manager Carlos Mendoza doesn’t feel his team is playing “tight,” despite their playoff chances dwindling. Instead, he believes Saturday’s 6-0 loss was more a credit to the Brewers, who utilized a bullpen day to virtually shut down New York’s bats.

Joey Ortiz drove in three runs for Milwaukee and the New York Mets mustered just two hits all night as their playoff hopes suffered another blow with a 4-0 loss to the Brewers.

The Mets offense looked tight, picking up only two hits while striking out 11 times in their 6-0 loss to the Brewers on Saturday night in Milwaukee.
