Mets.Com: 'They know me pretty well': Longtime teammates best Verlander
Metstradamus: "Justin Verlander was okay. He went seven innings whihc is good for the bullpen, I guess. He gave up four runs, which isn’t great. But Alex Bregman’s two run HR was the epitome of knowing your former teammate, as he moved up in the box on 3-0 and took a rip, and Jose Altuve hit his curveball in the 7th like he knew it was coming."

Mike Puma NY Post: Kyle Schwarber’s three home runs torment Mets in loss to Nationals. “The momentum of their previous week, when they beat up on the Padres and Cubs — two legitimate playoff contenders — has dissipated and now the Mets have to figure out how to survive a steady diet of NL East competition.”
MLB.com: Schwarber ties MLB record: 5 HR in 2 games.
Brain Joura Mets360: “Walker left with the Mets trailing, 3-2. But Jeurys Familia came on and gave up Schwarber’s third homer of the game. Remember when all the hits off Familia were bleeders? Good times, good times. Familia has now given up 8 ER in his last 11.2 IP.”

NY Post: Mets add 4th straight loss to run of d’Arnaud, Familia bad news. "A blah week got even worse for the Mets on Saturday, with catcher Travis d’Arnaud removed from the game with a hyperextended left elbow, uncertainty lingering about Jeurys Familia and the team’s recent defensive deficiencies nowhere close to dissipating. Amid the gloom, the Mets lost their fourth straight, 6-4 to the Braves at Turner Field, to fall a half-game behind the Nationals in the NL East. “I don’t think we need to panic,” manager Terry Collins said after the Mets committed two errors, on a night Noah Syndergaard wasn’t particularly sharp."
Noah Syndergaard allowed 4 runs, 3 earned due to a Travis d'Arnaud error, over a 4 innings to put the Mets down 4-2 after they had scored 2 in the 1st. Curtis Granderson and Travis d'Arnaud with solo homers tied the game at 4. Jack Leathersich retired the side in order in the 5th but was removed after allowing a leadoff double to A.J. Pierzynski in the 6th. Logan Verrett came in and the Braves loaded the bases on an Andrelton Simmons infield single and Eury Perez bunt single with no outs. The winning runs later scored on a Sac Fly and a Groundout. Mets just managed 3 singles the rest of the way for the loss.

Bob Apodaca came on and allowed a Manny Sanguillan single to load the bases but looked like he might limit the damage as he struck out the next two batters. Rennie Stennett then cleared the bases with a triple to make it 5-1. John Candelaria (W,1-1) retired the side in order in the 9th as he went the distance for the win, the first in his 19 year major league career.
