Batting fifth for the Mets on Monday evening, Lucas Duda went 0-for-2 with two walks as the Amazins could manage just three hits in a 4-1 loss to the Marlins. Yes, Duda was batting fifth. With Carlos Beltran battling an apparently intense case of the flu and Jose Reyes sill not yet ready to return from his hamstring injury, the Mets ran out a lineup that could politely be described as "below average" this evening. Now batting .248, Duda has zero home runs and 13 RBI this season.
