NEW YORK — The Mets are in the middle of a nightmare run.
They’ve lost 13 of 15 games, many of them heartbreakers. The Mets have blown nine leads in their last six games — two of those came in Thursday’s 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
It’s difficult to pinpoint what’s been ailing this team, which has lost 6.5 games in the standings during that 15-game span, from being up 1.5 games in the National League East to being down 5 games.
“We have to play 27 outs and sometimes you have to play more,” shorstop Francisco Lindor said after the game.
