Mets fall out of wild-card spot as win streak comes to a halt

Wilmer Flores is tagged out at the plate by T.J. Rivera in the eighth inning of the Mets' 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Braves on Saturday night. Flores suffered a neck contusion and exited after the play.

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.
