The Mets dropped their fourth straight in decisive fashion, losing to the Braves 7-1. Though his Mets debut was strong, Michael Wacha struggled mightily in his second start, giving up five runs in his first two innings of work. Once again, the Mets failed to capitalize offensively, loading the bases twice without scoring a run either time. Franklyn Kilome made his Mets debut and soaked up four innings in relief, surrendering an additional two runs.
The bright side about this awful stretch of Mets baseball for fans in the early going? “It is about caring enough to rage again,” writes Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post.
