It’s worth a second ask — will the Mets ever lose again? It is a valid question after five late comeback wins during their seven game winning streak.
The first three against the Nationals were obviously more important; they all but clinched the NL East for the Mets. But the last two against the Braves were quite spectacular and surprising.
The Mets took a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the eighth when the Braves rallied for three runs to tie the game. Okay, we thought, maybe the Mets would eventually lose this one.
