Mets takeaways from 9-2 loss to Braves, including sixth inning meltdown

The Mets imploded in the sixth inning, as they fell to the Atlanta Braves, 9-2, in the series finale at Citi Field on Wednesday afternoon.

Takeaways from the game

1) Tylor Megill had a very solid start…until the sixth inning came around. Manager Buck Showalter opted to leave him in after five innings of work despite having 85 pitches entering. But it might not have been the best idea, as the wheels fell off. His final line would read three earned on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over 5.
