In a dramatic game against the Nationals, the Mets faced an unexpected bullpen collapse without their usual closer, Edwin Diaz. Ryne Stanek entered the game but faltered, allowing two runs in the final inning, leading to a 5-4 loss that ended the teamâs seven-game winning streak. This loss came despite the Mets rallying with a go-ahead three-run triple earlier in the game. Notably, Kodai Senga had a solid outing, marking another strong performance for the Metsâ starters, which have notably not allowed a home run for 13 straight games.
