Mets drop both halves of the doubleheader in spectacular fashion

Game 1: Braves 21, Mets 3

The less said about this game, the better. The Braves poured gasoline on the fire in the ninth inning, scoring an additional eight runs against flame-throwing right-handed Danny Mendick.

Denyi Reyes started and gave up eight runs in four and two-thirds innings. He was relieved by Reed Garrett and Josh Walker who gave up four and two runs, respectively, before giving way to Mendick, making his second pitching appearance of the season.

The one bright spot of the game was a three-run home run by Daniel Vogelbach in the eighth inning.
