Mike Puma NY Post: Mets narrowly survive another epic bullpen collapse to top Nationals in extras. “Martinez’s three-run homer against Hunter Harvey propelled the Mets’ 9-7 victory over the Nationals in 10 innings… The Mets watched a [3-2] lead evaporate in the eighth and Jake Diekman barely avoided a Nationals walk-off victory in the ninth… The Mets kept piling on in the 10th, receiving an RBI triple from Francisco Alvarez and two-run homer from Jose Iglesias following Martinez’s blast. But most of that cushion was needed: the Nationals scored four runs against lefty Tyler Jay in the bottom of the inning before Reed Garrett recorded the final out with the tying runs on base.”

Mets.com: Verlander 'phenomenal' as Mets slug trio of HRs "Verlander was the difference, pitching seven innings, allowing just one unearned run and striking out six batters to pick up his third victory of the season.

Mike Puma NY Post: Awful Mets shut out again, fall to Cubs in 11 innings. “The Mets stretched the agony to 11 innings on Wednesday before losing their second straight, 2-0 to the Cubs at Citi Field… Carlos Torres (2-4) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk in the 11th as the Mets bullpen finally reached a breaking point after pitching three shutout innings behind Bartolo Colon…Many of the Mets’ shortcomings were on display in the eighth, when a failed squeeze play helped keep the game scoreless. Ceciliani missed the bunt attempt, and Ruben Tejada was caught off third base on the play.“
