Fall down seven times, stand up eight. That’s a Japanese proverb. The Mets got to Aaron Civale for seven runs. Jose Quintana gave up eight. That’s not a baseball proverb (or a winning formula.) Quintana had his worst outing of the season – giving up eight earned runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings – as the Mets dropped the opener of their six-game road trip to Tampa Bay 10-8...

He surrendered a home run to Zac Veen of the Hartford Yard Goats, a Colorado Rockies affiliate.
