Mets Lose Heartbreaker, Mauricio Injured

0:00On May 3rd, the Mets dropped the tough 4-3 heartbreaker to the Dodgers in extra innings on Saturday, and it all started with a massive miss-in. The video replay room. In the first inning, Nolan McLean gave up three straight, two outhits, and the third one sent a runner home for a run. But replays showed that runner got tagged out at third before the score touched the plate, so that run never should have counted. The Mets didn't challenge it, and it haunted them in a one run loss. Major Carlos Mendoza blamed it on replay analyst Harrison Friedland, missing the call, calling him one of the best, but admitting it was a big, oversight. The Mets fought back to tie it in the seventh, but then blew prime chances to take the lead with the bases loaded in one out, as Boba Shet and Juan, Soto came up empty. Bishet grounded into a force at home, Soto struck out. Those clutch spots define the game, especially with Bishet getting another shot in the tenth on Capture's interference, runners on first and, second, no outs.

1:00He hit into a double play instead, saying he was chasing perfect swings on sliders and couldn't deliver. The lost-stung even more with Ronnie Mauricio suffering a left-thumb fracture right before Bishet's first ground out, thinning out and already. Struggling lineup early in the season, Mendoza knows it's not just one mistake. They had the chances, but couldn't cash in with their big bats, and now they regroup for the next one, hoping to. Having this rough patch around, that's the story for today. New York Mets News Today, driven by AI, I'm Cory with the story.
