It feels like every Mets game follows a similar script these days: fall behind early and try to come back, but fall short. Tonight, the Mets followed that script to the letter. The Dodgers manufactured a run in the first inning off Carlos Carrasco thanks to a leadoff double from Trea Turner and then a fly ball that advanced him to third base and an RBI groundout.
The Dodgers added two more against Carrasco in the third inning. The rally started with Trea Turner reaching base for the second time—this time via a bloop single.
