Mets blow three run lead in eighth, lose in extras
Briefly

The Mets returned to Truist Park facing injuries, including Tylor Megill to the injured list. Despite leading 4-1, they lost 5-4 to Atlanta in a dramatic extra inning. The game unfolded with critical defensive miscues, notably a baserunning blunder by Francisco Alvarez. Atlanta rallied in the eighth inning with a bases-clearing double from Marcell Ozuna, which tied the game, showcasing the Mets' struggles amid mounting injuries and losses.
"It feels bad," Alvarez said. "The play is a reaction play and my reaction was to go to second base."
David Peterson was dominating until the eighth when, with a 4-1 lead, he walked leadoff hitter Nick Allen and gave up a single to Ronald Acuna Jr.
