Coming off a sweep against a fringe postseason team, the Mets began a three-game home series against the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves last night. Jacob deGrom took the mound, and as has often been the case, the Mets offense could do nothing to support him, with their sole run coming off a homer that he himself hit. The incompetence of the rest of the bats lasted deep into the night, as the game lasted 14 innings before Atlanta managed to put another run on the board, and they walked away with a 2-1 victory to open the series.
