The Mets lost to the Braves 4-2, as a Mets ace fell victim to the long ball for the second night in a row. Max Scherzer gave up two home runs—a two-run, go-ahead shot by Dansby Swanson and a solo homer by Matt Olsen that gave the Braves some insurance. He gave up four runs on nine hits in total and the Mets’ offense was unable to come from behind against the Braves’ bullpen. With the loss, the Mets fall one game behind the Braves in the NL East with one game left in this series and four games left to play in total.
