Free-falling Mets find new way to disappoint in ugly loss to Braves
NY Post
Normally, the Mets wait until later in the year to have the Braves derail their season.
But Atlanta continued to do a number on its free-falling rivals Tuesday, as the Mets blew a three-run lead and lost 7-4.
It was their 10th defeat in their past 11 games, this one in especially ugly fashion on a sweltering night at Citi Field.
“There’s definitely some frustration,’’ Francisco Lindor said of the team’s mentality. “We don’t want to lose. I do feel a sense of urgency from the guys. It’s all about winning and we’re not doing that right now.”
When a team is playing as poorly as the Mets are these days, it tends to find new ways to disappoint — and this game was no different.
The Mets got five scoreless innings from Frankie Montas in his debut with the club after missing the first three months of the season with a strained lat.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
