The Mets followed up blowing an 8-2 lead to the rival Braves last night by laying an egg in Atlanta tonight, losing 7-1 tonight, in a game they were never really in to begin with.
Michael Wacha followed up his strong showing in Boston with an equally bad one tonight, coughing up five runs in the first two innings. He settled down a tad, throwing two scoreless frames after that, but the damage was already done. The Braves tacked on two off of a debuting Franklyn Kilome, who threw four innings in relief to save the bullpen.
