Brandon Sproat worked six scoreless for the Mets in his second career start, but the bullpen collapsed as Texas surged to a 3-2 win. Langford provided the decisive two-out RBI in the ninth off Edwin Diaz, flipping the script after New York led 2-0. Juan Soto joined the 40-homer club with a seventh-inning shot, yet the Mets’ playoff hopes continue to dim as they slip eight games under their opponent after leading late.
