The Mets are heading to Pittsburgh after going 0-for-Atlanta (again). But hey, they shouldn’t worry because manager Buck Showalter is still proud of them.
In each of the three games New York played against the Braves this week, they had a multi-run lead. And on all three occasions, Atlanta came back to win. If you’re wondering how rare that is, the Braves hadn’t done it in the modern era before this week:
this is the 1st time since 1900 the Braves have won 3 straight games after being down 3+ runs in each
pre-1900, they won 3 straight such decisions 3 times:
5/26-30, 1894
8/19-23, 1893
8/3-7, 1876
