ATLANTA — The Mets entered Atlanta this week with the best record in the National League.
They head north to Philadelphia this weekend with serious concerns following a series sweep and sixth straight loss Thursday night.
The Mets found themselves in a world of hurt in the finale at Truist Park. They entered the fifth inning in a tie game and witnessed the bottom completely fall out in the next two innings.
The pitching staff buckled under the pressure of nine walks, allowing six runs between the two frames, and mounted little response offensively once again as they dropped a lopsided 7-1 result to the Braves in front of 39,234 fans at Truist Park.
