ATLANTA — Josh Smoker only could drop his head and wipe his brow as fireworks exploded above Turner Field in the 10th inning Saturday night, the official detonation of the Mets’ six-game winning streak.
Adonis Garcia’s single against Smoker brought in Jace Peterson with the winning run in the Mets’ 4-3 loss that not only ended the win streak but knocked manager Terry Collins’ crew a half-game behind the Cardinals in the race for the NL’s second wild card.
