Calling all Mets fans: Winning the National League East just got a tad harder. The Mets gave up their lead on the division with a loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, while the Atlanta Braves won their game in Washington. The Braves and Mets are now tied for the division with seven games left in the regular season.
The Marlins had an uncharacteristically good night against Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco, who had a 2.10 ERA in four starts this year against the Marlins prior to Tuesday.
The Marlins jumped on Carrasco for four runs in the first three innings.
