What happened: Zach Lowe said he was enjoying the New York Mets. He jokingly accepted blame if the club lost.
Why it matters: A win would put New York 11 games below .500, its closest mark since June 24. The Mets are 33-30 since Andy Green took over June 26.
By the numbers: New York entered Wednesday 66-78 and fifth in the NL East.
What to watch: The final score will settle whether Lowe's preemptive blame clause comes due.
