Mets See Their 2025 Season End With a 4-0 Loss To The Marlins

After months of lackluster baseball, the New York Mets effectively ended their 2025 season with a whimper, with a 4-0 defeat to the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park on Sunday. The loss culminated in an 83-79 campaign marked by two distinct halves: a strong start of 45 wins and 24 losses, boasting a league-best 2.80 ERA, followed by a significant decline after June 13, where they struggled with a .413 winning percentage and a 4.96 ERA, positioning them near the bottom of the league.

The final game served as a microcosm of their overall struggles. Sean Manaea started strong, tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings and striking out three batters, however, the Mets still needed to use a total of eight pitchers. The game shifted in the fourth inning when the Marlins broke a scoreless tie, scoring four runs off of Ryne Stanek and Tyler Rogers.

After Connor Norby singled, Eric Wagaman doubled him home, followed by Brian Navarreto with an RBI double. Javier Sanoja then hit an RBI triple, and Xavier Edwards capped the inning with a single, bringing the score to 4-0.

Edward Cabrera kept the Mets at bay, delivering five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, despite issuing five walks. He escaped a bases-loaded situation in the fifth inning by getting Pete Alonso to line out sharply to left field, ending New York’s best chance to score.

The Mets managed only five hits throughout the game. Francisco Lindor recorded a double, his 35th of the season, while Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Mark Vientos, and Tyrone Taylor each had singles. In the ninth inning, Lindor grounded into a game-ending double play, completing the shutout. The Mets finish 0-for-70 when trailing after eight innings this season.

With this loss, the Mets concluded their 2025 season, finishing second in the National League East but falling short of their ambitious goals set in the spring.
