Mets Morning News: Taijuan Walker heads to the injured list, Bench Mob comes up short of a sweep of Braves

It was another wild game in Atlanta with the Bench Mob attempting to pull off another miracle. They got down early after David Peterson struggled but Tomas Nido gave them a temporary lead late with another clutch hit. Unfortunately the thin and exhausted bullpen couldn’t make it stand and Ronald Acuña ended it with a walk-off home run in the ninth.

It seemed odd Pete Alonso never got into a close game after being given the day off but afterwards Luis Rojas revealed the first baseman has been dealing with a hand injury. The x-rays came back negative but an MRI isn’t out of the question just yet.
