This Mets homestand hardly went according to plan, from washouts to more losses than wins. They ended things on a high note, at least.
This Mets homestand hardly went according to plan, from washouts to more losses than wins.
The day got off to a rough start for the Mets, who fell behind early and couldn’t catch up, as the Braves used a pair of three-run homers from Sean Murphy to take the opener. John Curtiss came in and was greeted by a mammoth homer into the upper deck in left by Acuna Jr. that was measured at 448 feet to make it 6-1.
The Mets weren’t done, as they loaded the bases with no one out in the seventh and scored two runs on Vogelbach’s grounder to first, when shortstop Vaughn Grissom threw the ball away trying to complete a double play. The second game began with Tylor Megill drilling Acuna Jr. in his upper back, near his left shoulder. It forced Acuna Jr. from the game.
