Meet the Mets
The Mets dropped the series finale against the Braves with a 6-3 loss. Zac Thornton was shaky on the mound and the bullpen also faltered. Luis Torrens, Luis Robert Jr., and Bo Bichette all hit home runs but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit. They now return home to face the Nationals for three over the weekend.
