He has struggled with a 3-8 win-loss record and a 6.80 ERA in 90 innings pitched.

The team is currently under .500 and 7.5 games out of a wild card spot in the National League. They are close enough to try and make a push in the second half of the season. But is it worth adding when the chances of making that push look rather slim?</p><p>Whether the Mets decide to add at the deadline remains to be seen. However, the team certainly didn’t look like a playoff team on Sunday. Starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco lasted just 2.1 innings, giving up 10 hits and five runs as New York fell 6-1 to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox" rel="noopener">Boston Red Sox</a>.</p><p>After the game, Carassco <a href="https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/carlos-carrasco-mets-red-sox-mh7803li" rel="noopener">spoke to the media</a> about his start. He didn’t exactly mince words regarding his performance on the mound in Boston. “I don’t know,” Carrasco said, via Newsday writer Tim Healey. “I just went out there and threw strikes. And they got me. There’s nothing that I can do about it.”</p><p>Adam Duvall got the party started for the Red Sox in the first inning with an RBI single. After a quiet second inning, the Red Sox certainly came alive in the third. Boston scored four runs on seven hits and chased Carrasco from the game.</p><p>Francisco Lindor put the Mets on the board with an RBI single of his own. However, Rafael Devers hit a 413-foot bomb to right center field for Boston’s sixth and final run of the game.</p><p>Though the Mets <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-mark-canha-reveals-psyche-amid-brutal-loss-to-red-sox" rel="noopener">don’t seem down inside the clubhouse</a>, their place in the standings is rather grim. New York’s record dropped to 46-53 on Sunday, and they are now a whopping 18.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-justin-verlander-reaction-landing-il-opening-day" rel="noopener">already injured</a>, Carlos Carrasco got beaten badly by the Milwaukee Brewers in a 10-0 loss. His performance left a suspicion that he wasn’t at full health but the veteran righty claims he is A-OK.</p><p>Carrasco lasted completed four innings and gave up five earned runs. His pitch velocity was not where it usually was, as his fastball was two miles per hour slower than usual. He said that his <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/carlos-carrasco-struggles-vs-brewers-with-velocity-dip" rel="noopener">elbow is feeling healthy</a> and that he’s not worried about his velocity dip, according to Anthony DiComo of the MLB website.</p><p>“I pay attention to my velocity,” Carlos Carrasco said after the Mets’ loss at American Family Field, via the MLB website. “I want to know where I am. This is the first game. We have more games to come, and I’ll just get them from there…Listen, we are human beings. We’re going to get tired. Not every time we’re going to throw 93-plus.”</p><p>The Mets need Carrasco to be reliable as a depth piece for a team headlined by very old stars on the mound. The loss to the Brewers was far from just his fault, but the way he lost was a bit worrisome given his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-hit-with-brutal-carlos-carrasco-injury-heading-into-stretch-run" rel="noopener">history of injuries</a>. Hopefully for New York, he can bounce back in his next start.</p><p>This past offseason, the Mets pondered trades for Carrasco. If he isn’t able to bounce back from a below-average season, his time in New York could be over soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
