In a tightly contested game, the Mets lost 6-5 to the Dodgers after leading 4-0. Despite having a talented roster, the Mets were plagued by poor situational hitting and a critical error from third baseman Brett Baty. After leading into the eighth inning, the Dodgers capitalized on Mets' mistakes to snatch victory. Manager Carlos Mendoza lamented their inability to execute fundamentals, encapsulated in Baty's costly misplay that allowed the tying run to score, emphasizing the high-pressure nature of the series and their disappointing split.
"I thought he was going to come back. It's just a very, very dumb mistake and it can't happen in that situation. You’ve got to give the ball up early and get him running back toward third base. Terrible, terrible play."
"We didn’t play catch," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said, highlighting the team's failure in crucial moments despite their powerful lineup and high stakes in the match.
