Mets hit 3 homers, but bullpen woes doom them in loss to Giants

NEW YORK -- Patrick Bailey hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning, Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman saved the game with a defensive gem and the San Francisco Giants came back from another big deficit to beat the staggering New York Mets 8-7 on Friday night.

After squandering a four-run lead in the eighth, the Mets mounted a late rally of their own. They scored once in the ninth and loaded the bases with one out before Camilo Doval struck out slugger J.D. Martinez on three pitches.

Doval fell behind 3-0 on Mark Vientos but got back to a full count and induced a slow bouncer to third.
