After getting shut down by Dallas Keuchel, the Mets took the lead late only to watch it quickly evaporate in the Atlanta heat. Seth Lugo had a miserable outing and the Braves took the lead and never looked back. The Mets now have to avoid the sweep with Marcus Stroman on the mound.
Mickey Callaway went to his bullpen despite Steven Matz’s low pitch count and that decision doomed his team.
Jeff McNeil was placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain but it is mild enough where he should not miss more than ten days.
