NY Post: Mets’ Jeff McNeil gamble pays off with win over Blue Jays. “Summoned to pinch hit in the sixth inning after missing three straight starts with what had been described as fatigue in his left leg, McNeil fell behind with two quick strikes against former teammate Jacob Barnes, worked the count full and stroked a two-run double that delivered the go-ahead runs in the Mets’ 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays at Citi Field.”

Fox Sports: Ozuna’s 9th inning home run ties the game, Braves win it in 10, beating the Mets 5-3.  

NY Post: Ozuna’s solo shot spoiled Steven Matz’s sterling start. "The left-hander had turned in six strong innings, giving up just two hits (one a solo home run to Duvall) and one walk while striking out seven…Matz left in line for the win after the Mets finally jumped on Max Fried in the fifth inning. After being held hitless through the first 4 ¹/₃ innings, Michael Conforto doubled, Amed Rosario tripled and Jeff McNeil hit a sacrifice fly to take the 2-1 lead."  

ESPN.com: “Ozuna hit a tying homer off Diaz with two outs in the ninth inning, Dansby Swanson scored automatic runner Adam Duvall with a leadoff single in the 10th and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 5-3 on Saturday.” 

Mike’s Mets: “It Was Good Until It Wasn't”: “This was one of those games that made me wonder why I missed baseball so much while it was gone. The offense was still out of sync, but the pitching was really great for 8-2/3 innings. Unfortunately, everything went to hell for that last inning and a third, and the winning streak ended at one.”
