Overview
- Frankie Montas surrendered seven runs on seven hits over four innings, pushing his ERA to 6.68 and drawing boos when he failed to record an out in the fifth
- Rafael Devers’ three-run homer in the third inning turned a 1-1 tie into a deficit the Mets never overcame
- Errors by Pete Alonso and a late throw by Francisco Lindor led to unearned runs that compounded New York’s collapse
- Austin Warren stabilized the middle innings with four scoreless frames, but Torrens’ relief outing as the 42nd pitcher set a franchise record for bullpen usage
- The loss drops New York into a tight NL East race and raises doubts about rotation depth and bullpen management
