It’s been nearly two weeks since the Mets have won consecutive games — and a month since they’ve won a series.
With their latest defeat, they’ve fallen a season-high 17 games back in the NL East, thanks to another win by Atlanta.
On Wednesday, the Mets got five solid innings out of Kodai Senga pitching on regular four days’ rest, but after scoring seven runs in Tuesday’s win, the offense again came up small, scoring just single runs in the second and fourth. After Ottavino gave up a two-run single to Christian Yelich to ice the game, Justin Verlander was tossed by first-base umpire Ron Kulpa for arguing from the dugout, followed by Buck Showalter, who came out to argue with Kulpa after Verlander’s ejection.
But Willy Adames followed with a walk and Jesse Winker made Senga pay with a two-run double to left-center to put the Mets in an early 2-0 hole.

The narrative arc of Steve Cohen's New York Mets is much bigger than this yearNEW YORK — New York Mets owner Steve Cohen offered as much optimism as he could reasonably muster that his team will turn things around in time to salvage a postseason berth this year. But while Cohen is hopeful — as a Mets fan and as a man who has made it no secret that he's losing money on the team's record payroll — he is neither delusional nor prone to sugarcoating. He didn't get to the position where he could afford to buy a franchise by being unable to make clear-eyed assessments and the difficult decisions they often necessitate.
