Mets Lose to Blue Jays, Fall into NL Wild-Card Tie

New York's Postseason Hopes Take a Hit

Mets' Loss Puts Them in a Must-Win Situation

The New York Mets suffered a disappointing 10-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night, dropping them into a tie for the second NL wild-card spot with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets now sit at 86-73, just one game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for the final wild-card berth. The Mets' loss was a messy affair, as they committed three errors and allowed the Blue Jays to score seven unearned runs. The game was tied 3-3 in the sixth inning when the Blue Jays took advantage of two Mets errors to score three runs. The Blue Jays added four more runs in the eighth inning, putting the game out of reach. The Mets' offense was unable to keep pace with the Blue Jays, as they managed just six hits and three runs. Francisco Lindor hit a solo home run in the fifth inning, and Mark Canha had a two-run single in the sixth inning, but that was all the offense the Mets could muster. The Mets now find themselves in a must-win situation, as they need to win their final three games of the regular season to secure a wild-card berth. The Mets will host the Washington Nationals on Wednesday and Thursday before finishing the season with a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves.
