The New York Mets are no stranger to heartbreak, anger, misfortune, or any other synonyms you could find while thumbing through a thesaurus. Wednesday marked the most demoralizing loss of the 2019 season and the bullpen was the primary culprit.

The Los Angeles Dodgers took advantage of New York’s pen. After Noah Syndergaard gutted out six innings, he handed over the ball to three of the team’s most reliable relievers.
