Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson have seen enough.

One day after watching the New York Mets lose to Miami in 20 innings, they saw them fall in 10 to the worst team in the major leagues.

So after Sunday’s 8-4 defeat, the Mets demoted first baseman Ike Davis to Triple-A Las Vegas.

And outfielder Mike Baxter.

And reliever Rob Carson.

“I do believe there’s an honor to play here, there’s a privilege to play here. It’s not just, put the uniform on and be here,” Collins said. “You’ve earned the right to be here, but you have to earn the right to stay here.”

The team will call up infielder Josh Satin, outfielder Collin Cowgill and left-handed reliever Josh Edgin before Tuesday night’s series opener against St. Louis.

David Wright’s two-run double in the third helped build a 4-1 lead, but the Mets frittered it away.

Colorado 8, San Diego 7: Dexter Fowler’s single with two outs in the 10th inning scored DJ LeMahieu from third base and the Colorado Rockies rallied for an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres.

Atlanta 8, L.A. Dodgers 1: Dan Uggla had two homers and four RBIs, Freddie Freeman drove in three more runs with a double, and Mike Minor kept the Atlanta Braves’ rotation rolling with six solid innings in an 8-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

San Francisco 6, Arizona 2: Chad Gaudin pitched six strong innings, Marco Scutaro and Brandon Belt homered and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2.

Milwaukee 9, Philadelphia 1: Carlos Gomez hit a two-run homer on his bobblehead day, Scooter Gennett had a two-run triple and Kyle Lohse pitched eight strong innings for his first win in eight starts to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-1.

N.Y. Yankees 2, Seattle 1: Chris Stewart had a tiebreaking RBI single in the ninth inning and David Phelps matched efforts with Felix Hernandez for six innings to help the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1.

Boston 10, L.A. Angels 5: Joe Blanton’s miserable season continues. Blanton was hit hard again, giving up three homers and allowing seven runs six earned in five-plus innings as the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-5.

Detroit 4, Cleveland 1: Jose Alvarez pitched six impressive innings in his major league debut, and Don Kelly hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the sixth to help the Detroit Tigers finish a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 4-1 victory.

Chicago White Sox 4, Oakland 2: Alex Rios and Tyler Flowers homered, Hector Santiago pitched into the seventh inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 4-2.
