The usually steady relievers cost the Mets their third straight win
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports After a rough opening series against the Braves, the Mets looked strong against the Red Sox during the first two games of this series in Boston. Despite 15 hits and a bases loaded with no outs situation in the bottom of the ninth, the Mets dropped the third game of this series 6-5. The team did not get back to Queens after last night’s game in Boston until 3:30am this morning, and the team looked it at times.
Jacob deGrom started the game by giving up four straight balls hit to the outfield, but only one, a double from J.D. Martinez, fell in. Uncharacteristically, it took deGrom until the third out of the second inning to notch his first strikeout.
