A day after holding on to an 8-7 win, the Mets could not push the tying run across as they fell 6-5 to the Braves on Tuesday night in Atlanta.
Here are the takeaways...
-Down 6-0 in the eighth, the Mets scored three in the eighth on Pete Alonso's three-run homer and pushed across two more in the ninth to cut the Braves' lead to 6-5. With the bases empty and two outs, Francisco Lindor who was 0-for-4 up to this at-bat and had just one hit as a left-handed hitter this season, blooped a single to get Alonso up as the go-ahead run.
