Tough Loss in the Big Apple
Hey Braves fans, it was a tough night at Citi Field as our Atlanta Braves fell to the New York Mets, 8-4. Despite our best efforts, the Mets had an explosive 3rd inning that left us playing catch-up for the rest of the game.Early Lead Crumbles
The game started off on a positive note for us. In the top of the 2nd inning, Travis d'Arnaud singled to left and then Eddie Rosario reached on a fielder’s choice. Adam Duvall then crushed a 392-foot homer to left, putting us up 2-0.
A Rough 3rd Inning
Unfortunately, the bottom of the 3rd was brutal. After a series of unfortunate events, including a fielding error by Austin Riley, the bases were loaded when J.D. Martinez hit a grand slam. The Mets didn't stop there; Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez also hit homers to put them ahead 7-2. Ouch.
Falling Short
We tried to chip away at their lead. Marcell Ozuna hit a solo homer in the 6th inning to make it 8-3, and Adam Duvall added another solo shot in the 9th to give us a glimmer of hope, but it wasn’t enough. Orlando Arcia got to second base on a single and fielder’s indifference, but Ramon Laureano and Austin Riley couldn't keep the rally going.
Looking Forward
Even though tonight's game didn't go our way, we've still got a lot of baseball left in the season. Let's regroup and look forward to the next game. We've got the talent and determination to bounce back! Let's go Braves!
