Josh Smoker and Fernando Salas' struggles continued as both relievers allowed runs in last night's 9-7 loss to the Braves.
Smoker entered the game in the seventh, and after picking up the first out, allowed back-to-back hits to Matt Kemp and Nick Markakis to put runners on second and third.
Salas then came on in relief of the lefty and surrendered a single, a walk, a sacrifice fly, and another single to make the score 9-3 Atlanta -- a defecit the Mets were not able to overcome.
