Dedniel Núñez struggled in his return to the Mets bullpen, allowing three runs in the seventh inning of a 6-3 loss to the Braves, contributing to a series defeat. Despite prior strong performances, Núñez’s inconsistencies and the bullpen’s overall volatility have hampered the team’s efforts. Rookie Zac Thornton pitched well for six innings but faced challenges, with the Mets managing only three solo homers for runs. The loss capped a disappointing series for the Mets, who failed to capitalize on recent offensive momentum.
