The Mets are 3-9 since May 14, announced after Monday's 5-3 defeat that it had fired hitting coach Dave Hudgens.

"When you struggle the way we've struggled offensively a finger, obviously gets pointed," said third baseman David Wright, who saw a nine-game hitting streak snapped with an 0-for-4 day. "A lot of times that finger gets pointed unfairly."

New York then placed outfielder Eric Young on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Young mentioned his leg had been stiff for a few days, but exacerbated it when he stole second base Saturday against the D-backs. He will likely get an MRI Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

"I felt it enough to where I couldn't run or explode like I need to," said Young, who sat out Sunday's doubleheader against Arizona. "The legs are a big part of my game so I'd rather take the two weeks instead of risking it and being out longer than that."

Edinson Volquez gave up only one run on three hits in six strong innings against Washington, recording his first quality start in a month to the day.

"He pitched a really professional game," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "He used the changeup extremely well earlier, quality secondary pitch, the breaking ball played for him and the fastball command was good. It was just a really good effort."
