The Mets transitioned from an impressive start to a disappointing performance against the Giants, resulting in a loss that pushed them out of first place. The offense struggled significantly, leading to a considerable deficit. Francisco Lindor's early home run provided a glimmer of hope, and Austin Warren pitched well in relief. However, Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez managed to score late runs despite a foregone conclusion. David Stearns faces the challenge of potentially missing outcomes with player Frankie Montas's performance as it declines.
The Mets zoomed from amazing back to confounding, the offense was crummy, they wound up way behind before the merciful conclusion, and a few hours later the Phillies kicked them out of first place.
Francisco Lindor hit a home run in the brief pre-debacle part of the game. Austin Warren pitched effectively in bulk relief, for which he'll undoubtedly be rewarded with a bunch of HR paperwork.
With the Mets down to a last out in a foregone conclusion, Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez didn't give away ABs and put two runs' worth of lipstick on the pig.
David Stearns has had a pretty good eye for reclamation projects, but it's getting late for Frankie Montas to add his name to that list.
