Mets Morning News: The suffering continues

Meet the MetsYoull never guess what happened last night: the Mets lost again! And your mind will really be blown when I tell ya this part: it was a game they easily could have won! The not-so-Amazins had a 3-2 lead entering the eighth, but Ryan Helsley gave up two runs in his inning of work, and the Mets bats were unable to overcome the deficit in the final two innings.

As such, they suffered another series loss against the fourth-place game, fell to 2-13 over their last fifteen games, and are now just a half game ahead of the Reds for the final wild card spot in the National League.
