In a game that might best be described as a ‘train wreck’ or a ‘tire fire’, the Mets blew a late inning lead to fall 9-8 to the Dodgers. Noah Syndergaard was solid. The Met offense, led by Pete Alonso, was excellent against a front line starting pitcher in Walker Buehler. The bullpen, however, was an utter disaster, and the result was a crushing loss.
This game started off very well for the Mets. Alonso launched a two-run bomb in the first, Noah Syndergaard looked dominant in the bottom half, and Adeiny Hecahavarria added another run in the top of the second to build a 3-0 lead.
