This was a day — and night — of baseball for the Mets to forget.
Manager Buck Showalter admitted that the Mets didn’t pitch well and let a game “get away from us” on Saturday afternoon, two statements that really didn’t need to be said after his team suffered the most lopsided home loss in team history.
Errors by second baseman Danny Mendick and center fielder Tim Locastro on the same play led to an Atlanta run in the eighth inning of Game 2. He throttled an already trade-depleted lineup that was without injured starters Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo, though both returned to action for Game 2. Jose Quintana allowed just one run in six innings but still suffered the loss in the Mets’ Game 2 defeat.The MLB-leading Braves scored five runs on eight hits against fill-in Game 1 starter Denyi Reyes during his 4 ²/₃ innings of work.Relievers Reed Garrett and Josh Walker, along with Mendick, were rocked for 16 additional runs — eight in the ninth innings versus Mendick — and six home runs over the final four innings, including two by MLB leader Matt Olson.
Olson clubbed his MLB-leading 41st and 42nd homers of the season in the sixth and eighth innings, respectively. Albies also homered in the seventh to push the Mets’ deficit into double digits.
