Offense sputters as Braves drop series finale to Mets 4-1

The Braves have had numerous come-from-behind wins in May, but could not pull that same rabbit out of a hat once again, falling to the Mets by a 4-1 score to endure a series split in the four-game set. Unlike some games where you really need the narrative to truly understand how everything transpired, this game can easily be recapped with a series of bullets that get the point across.

  1. The Atlanta offense could do absolutely nothing against Jason Vargas, which was inexplicable and the cause of much consternation. Vargas came into this game not only as a bottom 10 pitcher in MLB, but on three days’ rest as a result of the Mets’ pitching woes and Noah Syndergaard’s finger injury.
