In a game that started off very promisingly, the Mets fell apart in the sixth en route to their first non-series win of the season, falling to the Braves 9-2. The bullpen generally, and Adam Ottavino in particular were the primary culprits - the righthander failed to record an out, allowed all three of the runners he inherited to score, and then was charged with three runs of his own. A quiet offense that failed to make chance of ample free passes couldn’t overcome the poor pitching performance.
Circling back to that promising start, Tylor Megill deserves a ton of credit.
