After a doubleheader sweep of the Pirates last Wednesday, it looked like the Mets were back on track. With no game Thursday, they had time to rest and prepare to take care of business in Miami against the Marlins.
That didn’t happen Friday, as they lost 6-3. With yet another Braves victory, that meant New York officially wasn’t a first-place team for the first time since April. Nobody wanted to see this happen, but if you went to those deep, dark places of #MetsTwitter, the season was over for the 10,000th time.
