The New York Mets fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 8-4, marking their first series loss at Citi Field since April. Tylor Megill's costly error extended a disastrous fourth inning that allowed four unearned runs, including a 409-foot home run by rookie Junior Caminero. Despite a strong start with a 2-1 lead, the Mets faltered after a five-run fourth inning by the Rays. Megill struggled, yielding six runs (three earned) before being booed off the field. Although the Mets made a brief comeback with home runs from Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty, defensive blunders continued to haunt them, including another error from José Castillo. With an upcoming game, the Mets aim to avoid being swept for the first time this season.
