• Reliever Reed Garrett’s five-run sixth compounded Mets bullpen woes during a stretch in which New York has dropped 14 of 17 games and been outscored 37-6
• Brandon Nimmo, promoted to leadoff, ambushed rookie Jacob Misiorowski for a two-out second-inning grand slam in game two, sparking the Mets’ 7-3 win
