Good morning, Mets fans!
The Mets’ week-long Midwest road trip was off to a hot start as the Amazins took the first two of their three-game set against Detroit. However, a Mets bullpen collapse halted a sweep of the Tigers as Ryan Helsley‘s continued struggles turned a one-run ball game into a four-run cushion for Detroit. Kerry Carpenter‘s three-run bomb off Helsley sent the game to 6-2 in the Tigers’ favor, which would end up being the final.
The Mets have an off-day on Thursday before they head to Cincinnati to take on the Reds, who are five games back in the Wild Card race. The Reds are also trailing the Giants, who now sit four games back of New York.
