Big Late Losers

The Mets scored six runs over the last three innings against Houston and lost 12-8 in game one of their double header. The Braves scored eight runs in the last three innings against the Cubs and lost 14-12!

(By the way, if a pitcher named Harvey starts the first game in Houston after a hurricane named Harvey destroys parts of the city, it should be no surprise he gets creamed. I suppose his eight runs allowed in two innings is a symbolic thrashing of the storm.)

It’s unusual to lose when scoring at least six runs for the whole game. It looks like the Cubs and the Astros both got to test the backs of their bullpens.
