Sunday night was a nightmare for the New York Mets. Rick Porcello struggled from the opening pitch and allowed two runs in the first inning, but seemed to settle down from there. He reached the third inning with the Mets trailing 2-1.
Porcello and the Mets defense then proceeded to collapse. An error by Jeff McNeil allowed a leadoff runner to reach base. Porcello followed that with a walk and then J.D. Davis misplayed a fly ball in left field which led to two runs. That broke open the dam.
The Braves scored four runs off Porcello in the inning and he was removed before getting an out.
