MET GAME DAY

-

ATLANTA — New manager, new coaching staff, a whole new, reorganize­d medical staff and yet the Mets seem to have the same old bad luck. Hours after they placed Noah Syndergaar­d on the disabled list, Steven Matz left Tuesday’s game after three scoreless innings with “discomfort,” in his left, middle finger. X-rays on the Long Island lefty’s finger were negative for a broken bone, the team announced.

Then the bullpen blew a four-run lead, giving up five runs in the last three innings, including the walkoff home run to Johan Camargo to give the Braves a 7-6 win at SunTrust Park.

It was the second time in three games the Braves (32-22) have beaten the Mets (26-26) with a walkoff home run.

Camargo hit the homer off Gerson Bautista, who had been called up Monday.

Paul Sewald allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits. Jerry Blevins gave up a run on two hits in 1.2 innings work. Jacob Rhame allowed three on four hits and a walk in the eighth.

That overshadow­ed Asdrubal Cabrera’s big night. He hit a two-run homer in the third and a solo shot in the fifth. It was his second multi-home run game of the season and the eighth of his career.

The homer in the fifth was a big confidence boost for the Mets, who had just watched Matz walk off the mound and Paul Sewald give up two runs in the bottom of the fourth.
