NEW YORK — No lead is safe for the Mets these days.
Not even for their high-powered, new-look bullpen.
Tyler Rogers faltered and Ryan Helsley relinquished a lead in Thursday night’s 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field, dealing the Mets their 13th loss in 15 games.
Helsley surrendered a pair of runs in the eighth inning, including Ozzie Albies’ go-ahead RBI double that proved to be the game-winner.
Boos rained down from a crowd of 41,782 as the fourth-place Braves (53-68) clinched yet another series victory over the Mets (64-57).
The score was tied, 1-1, when Mets starter Kodai Senga exited after 93 pitches with two outs and runners at the corners in the top of the sixth.
