The New York Mets
could have swept the Los Angeles Dodgers but settled for a four-game series split after a 6-5 loss at Dodger Stadium. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed frustration over dropping two winnable games, citing sloppy play, including a crucial error by third baseman Brett Baty that allowed Will Smith to score and tie the game. Mendoza emphasized that giving extra bases and outs against a strong team like the Dodgers ultimately cost them the victory.
