Brian Joura Mets 360: "For the second straight game, the Mets fell behind big early and then forged a comeback. This time they ran out of time, as they fell to the Braves, 6-5, Tuesday night in rainy Atlanta."

NY Post: Adrian Houser struggles as Mets’ late rally falls short in loss to Braves. "The Braves built an early cushion that was too big for the Mets to overcome in their 6-5 loss...Pete Alonso gave the Mets a pulse with a three-run homer in the eighth inning that sliced the deficit in half...The Mets added two in the ninth against Raisel Iglesias before the Braves closer struck out Alonso to end it."

SNY.TV: "Dedniel Nunez made his first MLB appearance. Nunez was called up after the Mets DFA'd Julio Teheran earlier in the day. The hard-throwing righty was a bit unlucky, allowing a bloop hit and another hit that probably should have been called an error on Brett Baty."

Omar Narváez was asked how the Mets can better handle speed on the basepaths:

"Keep them off the bases, that's basically it. Just trying to keep those guys off the bases and keep pitching." pic.twitter.com/U7leJflzQF
