The balls were flying on a warm, humid day at Citi which both helped and hurt the Mets in their 7-3 loss against the Rangers.
Starling Marte got the scoring started in the first with a two-run shot to give the Mets an early lead. Unfortunately that lead did not even last a half inning when a two-run lead quickly morphed into a two-run deficit. Trevor Williams gave up back-to-back home runs to Kole Calhoun and Jonah Heim to make it 4-2 Rangers. Calhoun added another solo shot in the fourth and Williams’s day ended shortly thereafter.
