Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada went hitless in two at-bats Wednesday at Miami, dropping his season average to .183. Tejada is hitless in 14 at-bats in May.
"I just think he's trying a little bit too hard. He's swinging at some very marginal pitches," hitting coach Dave Hudgens said. "Yesterday he swung at two pitches that were up and in and hit groundballs. We're kind of searching, wanting to get hits, as opposed to having a good approach and getting a good ball to hit and don't try to force it. I think he's just trying to force it a little bit right now."
