The New York Mets have fallen on hard times of late, as they’ve lost five consecutive games dating back to their June 12 victory against the Washington Nationals. While New York’s excellent start to the season has given them a cushion in the NL East, the fact that they’re facing the Atlanta Braves right now (who they’ve dropped two straight games against), then play the Philadelphia Phillies, then have another series against Atlanta means the Mets need to right the ship if they’re to maintain their standing at the top of the division. The score of this Tuesday game was tied at 4-4 entering the ninth inning, which Juan Soto then started hot with a single.
