An absurd, hilarious, incredible, painful loss

We’re contractually obligated to write something like “the Mets lost 13-12” in the first sentence of these things, but I’m not sure there’s an adequate way to express what this game was like with a simple score. Yes, the Mets lost in walkoff fashion, largely due to an extremely frustrating managerial error. But this game was so much more than that, containing the single most absurd BABIP-driven inning you’ll ever see, then three even more ridiculous happenings after that. Buckle-up, because this was a wild one.

The Giants jumped on Mets starter Chris Bassitt immediately, scoring three batters into the game on a single, double, and a groundout.
