"We weren't able to string anything together," Green added.
Mets starter Christian Scott took the loss after walking four batters and giving up three runs in four innings of work.
"I didn't do a good job of landing my off-speed pitches in those two innings," Scott said, referring to the second and third frames.
Despite the command issues, Green remained supportive of the young pitcher's aggressive approach.
"He's at his best when he's attacking, and he's certainly trying to do that," Green said.
