MIAMI — The New York Mets aren’t hitting, and another lapse by slugger Robinson Cano raised questions about how hard they’re trying. Sandy Alcantara needed just 89 pitches to throw a two-hitter in a duel with Noah Syndergaard , and the lowly Miami Marlins beat the reeling Mets 3-0 Sunday to complete a three-game sweep. A day after being shut out on one hit, the Mets dropped their fifth in row. The Mets (20-25) have their longest losing streak of the year and are a season-worst five games under .500. “I saw the ball hit and it didn’t even hit the plate, it hit behind the plate,” Cano said.
