— Patrick Bailey hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to help the San Francisco Giants beat the reelingThe Mets opened June by completing a three-game sweep of Philadelphia, then went 6-19 the rest of the way, losing 15 games in the NL East standings to first-place Atlanta and falling nine games behind the Giants in the race for the final wild card.
The Mets took a 4-2 lead into the eighth, but Pete Alonso — who snapped his bat over his knees after popping out to strand Jeff McNeil at second in the fifth — misplayed Joc Pederson's one-out grounder, and David Robertson walked J.D. Davis before Bailey, a rookie playing in his 33rd game, homered to straightaway center.
"Catching my curveball deep and taking me to the deepest part of the park — don't think I've ever given up any home runs like that in years past," Robertson said."But it's happened to me now, so I guess I've got to make some adjustments." Wilmer Flores homered and Brandon Crawford had an RBI single for the Giants. They went 18-8 in June with 10 comeback victories.Tommy Pham homered for the Mets, and McNeil hit two RBI doubles.
