The Mets went quietly against Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night, losing 5-0.

Here are the takeaways...

-Making just his second start of the season, this time for the injured Kodai Senga, Paul Blackburn was greeted rudely by Ronald Acuña Jr. on the first pitch he threw, allowing a leadoff home run that gave the Braves a quick 1-0 lead. It was far from the end as Blackburn allowed a single and a walk before retiring his first batter of the game on a groundout that advanced the runners to second and third.
