In a tightly contested game, the Mets fell to the Atlanta Braves 5-4 in 10 innings, plagued by critical mistakes that led to their defeat. Manager Carlos Mendoza lamented the loss, which featured a crucial eighth-inning bases-clearing double by Marcell Ozuna, following a pitch mix-up between catcher Francisco Alvarez and reliever Reed Garrett. Additionally, baserunning errors by Juan Soto and Pete Alonso compounded the Mets’ difficulties, as did a miscalculated throw by Alvarez that allowed the winning run to score on a sacrifice fly, sealing the Mets’ fate.
