Beatles night at Citi Field turns tense as the Mets fall 11-9 to Seattle after a brutal bullpen meltdown. Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto supplied early thunder, Lindor driving in four and Soto launching a 30th homer to push New York ahead. The lead vanished in a six-run seventh inning highlighted by Cal Raleigh’s leadoff double, Eugenio Suárez’s RBI double to tie, and Dominic Canzone’s RBI single as Seattle surged ahead. The Mets’ new bullpen trio of Rogers, Helsley and Raley couldn’t close the door, extending a skid that has seen them drop 14 of 16.

Francisco Alvarez connected for a three-run homer in the eighth, but the comeback fell short. The night also carried a Beatles anniversary vibe and a note of wild-card math, with Milwaukee erasing a seven-run hole to beat Cincinnati and keeping New York just a half-game up on the Reds for the final NL wild-card spot. Next up, Seattle’s Bryan Woo was slated to start while Mets rookie-to-be Nolan McLean eyed MLB debut implications amid the continued bullpen shakeups.
