However, in one of those games, the Mets struggled offensively with only four hits leading to a single run. The inconsistency in hitting has been evident as they managed an average of .229 in one game but dipped to .138 in another. On the pitching front, they've shown strength with an impressive ERA of 1.0 during their latest win but also faced challenges with a higher ERA of 4.5 when they lost.
