The Mets came into today’s game with a chance to secure an impressive series win against a wild card opponent while also gaining a game against the Braves, who lost earlier today. And for most of today’s game, it looked like they would do just that. But the bullpen failed to come through today, giving up a couple late home runs—including a walk-off shot in the bottom of the ninth—to doom the Mets to a disappointing 3-2 loss.
José Quintana took the mound for the Mets looking to rebound after a string of very rough starts.
