The Mets bullpen, outstanding all season, allowed 11 earned runs as the Rays beat New York for the second straight game, 12-5. Tampa Bay put up a five-spot in the 4th inning and blew the game open with a six-run 8th inning. Pete Alonso snapped a 54 AB homer-less drought with a solo shot in the 3rd inning, one of three Mets home runs on the day.
