Mets blow lead to lose another heartbreaker, drop eighth straight

After seven excellent and scoreless innings on defense and on the mound, the Mets caved in the eighth and ninth in a crushing — and another — 3-2 heartbreaker to the Rangers in front of 41,752 at Citi Field who began the Saturday cheering for the old timers and ended the night booing what is left of the 2025 Mets.
