As if the Mets’ offense wasn’t bad enough Friday night, the final out of the bottom of the eighth inning happened without a pitch being thrown in their 3-0 loss to Toronto.

Brandon Nimmo was called for a pitch-clock violation on a 2-2 count with two outs in the bottom of the eighth and Tim Mayza on the mound.

The strikeout ended the inning with the Mets down by a run.

Nimmo was determined to not be engaged with the pitcher by the eight-second mark of the pitch clock, ending the at-bat and the inning.

“It seems ticky-tack,’’ Nimmo said, pointing out that it came after a foul ball and he was in the batter’s box. “Usually, we get a little more time on foul balls. Maybe that’s been wrong.”

Nimmo and manager Buck Showalter said they didn’t have a problem with home plate umpire Nic Lentz.

“We had a really good hitter up there in a close game and the next thing you know, the inning’s over,’’ Showalter said.

Reliever Jeff Brigham gave up a two-run homer to Daulton Varsho in the top of the ninth and the Mets couldn’t come back.

“It sucks that a situation in a game is dictated by something that wasn’t even in the game a year ago,’’ Nimmo said. “I’ve got to try to be more aware of the clock.”

He blamed it in part on his tendency to let pitchers get on the rubber before he prepares to hit, which can create a close call with the clock.

“That probably had something to do with it,’’ Nimmo said. “I have to try to break those habits.”
