That is how the Mets left Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night after an Edwin Diaz meltdown in the ninth inning allowed the Dodgers to come away with a stunning 9-8 victory, a game the Mets led 8-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh.
Certainly, the Mets took notice in their 9-5 loss to the Dodgers on Monday night just how often these Dodgers seemed to guess right at the plate.
Amazin’. That really got the Mets attention.
