That’s all she wrote. Tuesday night feels like a backbreaker. The New York Mets took fans on an unexpected run during the second half, but the NL Wild Card dream is on life support.
In a game where the Washington Nationals handed the Mets the win on a silver platter, New York’s bullpen had a Chernobyl-level meltdown. Up 10-4 in the ninth inning, Paul Sewald allowed four runs while only managing to secure one out.
Luis Avilan couldn’t clean up the mess so manager Mickey Callaway was forced to hand the ball to Edwin Diaz with the winning run at the plate.
