The New York Mets closed out their nine-game road trip with a disappointing 5-4 record after a weekend that saw their offense go cold at the worst possible time.

Things had actually been looking up for the struggling Mets earlier in the trip. Despite a tough loss to the Rockies on a late-inning grand slam Thursday, they had shown signs of life and won their first two series. But that momentum evaporated quickly in Arizona.

Friday night brought a glimmer of hope, with Mark Vientos delivering late-inning heroics to salvage the series opener. But the bats went silent after that, wasting yet another strong pitching performance from Clay Holmes on Saturday. Holmes tossed 5.2 innings of two-run ball, only to take the loss as the offense managed just one run on three hits.

The struggles continued Sunday against Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who entered the game with a 9.95 ERA. The Mets couldn't muster a baserunner after the fifth inning Saturday, and that drought stretched to 22 consecutive batters before Juan Soto drew a leadoff walk in the fourth inning Sunday—tying a season-high mark.

Rodriguez kept his no-hit bid alive until Carson Benge broke through with a single in the sixth. Luis Torrens followed with a double to plate the Mets' only run, but Arizona answered with three unearned runs in the bottom half to put the game away. Rodriguez finished just two outs shy of his first career complete game, allowing only three walks and four hits.

"He was hitting his spots," Soto said. "He was throwing the ball well, he was being careful with the big guys and being aggressive with guys he thought he could be aggressive to."

That's been the story lately for a Mets lineup missing several key bats. After winning four of six to open May, they've now dropped three of their last four, scoring just seven runs total during that stretch.

"We're better than that," manager Carlos Mendoza said. "Especially the past couple of days, we needed to be better."
