The Mets had a rough go of things on Saturday during their doubleheader against the rival Braves. After losing Game 1 in what ended up a football score fashion at 21–3, New York dropped Game 2 as the offense was shut out on its home field.
The team has now lost 10 of its last 12 games since the trade deadline and has fallen to 52–65 on the season. With the losses piling up, frustrations began to boil over.
After first baseman Pete Alonso struck out in the eighth inning of Game 2, his second strikeout of the game, the Mets slugger could be seen smashing his helmet in the team’s dugout.
