The New York Mets experienced another defeat against the Atlanta Braves, ending in an 11-6 loss despite holding a six-run lead at one point. After building an early advantage with offensive contributions from Pete Alonso and Juan Soto, the Mets' pitching faltered dramatically. Their struggles were punctuated by a fourth inning pitching meltdown that showcased the team's ongoing difficulties, leading to a seventh consecutive loss. Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that coaching efforts are focused on helping players navigate their current challenges, recognizing the talent present in the roster.
The Mets returned to their default settings, following a lengthy weather delay due to a severe thunderstorm. The rain only delayed the inevitable.
Pete Alonso drove in two runs. Juan Soto walked and hit a home run. They left Peterson a six-run lead at the end of the second inning.
By the top of the fifth, New York trailed 9-6, and were on their third pitcher of the evening, en route to an 11-6 loss.
Wednesday's collapse was only the latest example of a club in freefall and out of answers, especially in the fourth inning pitching meltdown.
