The Mets went into the eighth inning today with a 3-2 lead, with their second most trusted reliever on the mound. Before a second out was recorded, the Cubs were up 5-3, and the Mets dropped yet another game based on poor relief pitching and even worse managing.
Jacob deGrom got into a little trouble in the bottom of the second inning. After getting Javier Baez to strike out to start the inning, deGrom gave up back to back singles to Jason Heyward and David Bote.
