Meet the Mets

The Mets suffered a heartbreaking 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Nationals. Bad defense doomed the Mets again, this time behind Nolan McLean, as fielding errors resulted in an early three-run deficit and only one of the three runs against McLean was earned. But the Mets did something they’ve rarely done this season: they rallied in the ninth to tie the game on a Juan Soto RBI bloop single. However, they could not manage to walk it off despite having the bases loaded with one out. Edwin Díaz threw a shutdown tenth, but was not sent back out for the eleventh and the Mets paid for it. Daylen Lile hit a fly ball that went sailing over Cedric Mullins’ head and caromed away from him for a two-run inside-the-park home run that put the Nationals over the top.
