The Mets lost to the Braves 2-1 in a hard-fought fourteen inning contest at Citi Field. Both starting pitchers put forth a strong performance, but Jacob deGrom was especially brilliant. In the top of the third with a man on and two outs, Freddie Freeman strode to the plate. deGrom battled him for a nine-pitch at-bat and eventually struck him out. He struck out the side in the next two frames and struck out Ronald Acuna Jr. to lead off the sixth for his eighth strikeout in a row and his tenth on the night.
