The Mets lost to the Atlanta Braves in the first game of a doubleheader on Monday afternoon at Citi Field...
Here are the takeaways...
1. The Mets chose to use Denyi Reyes as an opener instead of turning to Jose Butto (who was to be activated for the second game of the doubleheader).
It arguably would've made more sense to start Butto or Tylor Megill (the Game 2 starter) in the first game before turning to a bullpen affair, but New York opted for Reyes -- and that decision caused a snowball effect that ultimately doomed them.
