Mets Morning News: Mets lose the rare fifth-game rubber match

Taijuan Walker started off strong, but the game fell towards Atlanta after the third inning despite a monstrous home run from Pete Alonso as the Mets dropped the rubber game 6-3.

Look, the Mets lost, but Alonso hit a home run in the third deck in left field, which kinda-almost made the entire game worth it.

Pitcher Akeem Bostick made his major league debut in the ninth inning yesterday and is the 56 player the team has utilized this season, tying a franchise record set in 2018. Bostick was understandably excited about his debut.
