The Mets are desperate to stop a three-game home skid as the season increasingly looks like it’s getting away from them. New York got swept by the Dodgers earlier in the week, and are fourth in the National League East, a full 16 games behind the first place Phillies.

The Mets saw a glimmer of hope in the fifth inning on Wednesday, when Thomas Nido slammed a two-run home run — his third this season — and JD Martinez tied the game with an RBI double after review. But that hope collapsed under a six-run offensive onslaught by the Dodgers in the eighth inning, punctuated by a two-run homer from slugger Shohei Ohtani.

Now they’ll clash with another team on a three-game skid in the Diamondbacks. Arizona is 25-30 after losing three in a row, including back-to-back games against the Texas Rangers, culminating in a 6-1 drubbing on Wednesday.
