Mets Lose Ground in Wild Card Race After Messy Loss to Blue Jays
Mets Fall to .500, Now Tied for Second Wild Card
New York's Playoff Hopes Take a Hit in Toronto
The New York Mets suffered a disappointing 9-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, dropping them into a tie for the second National League Wild Card spot.
The Mets, who entered the game with a one-game lead in the Wild Card standings, now sit at 77-77, level with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The loss was a messy one for the Mets, who committed three errors and allowed 11 hits to the Blue Jays.
Mets starter Taijuan Walker was roughed up for five runs in just 3 1/3 innings, while the bullpen allowed four more runs in 5 2/3 innings of work.
The Mets offense was unable to keep pace, scoring just five runs on nine hits.
The loss was a major setback for the Mets, who are now in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2019.
The Mets will look to bounce back on Thursday when they face the Blue Jays in the series finale.
