Interim Mets manager Andy Green appreciated starter Sean Manaea throwing 108 pitches over five innings to try and spare the bullpen but it didn't take away from Manaea's dreadful performance in allowing six earned runs in a 14-3 drubbing by the Braves. Green and Tyrone Taylor discussed a pop up that Taylor and SS Francisco Lindor allowed to drop, extending the inning for the Braves. In the end it was just one symptom of an all-around bad night.

Interim Mets manager Andy Green thought starter Christian Scott fell behind in some counts that saw the Braves follow up with the long ball. Scott was not happy with the command of his secondary pitches and needs to "be better." Green was very encouraged by Kodai Senga's 2.2 innings of relief and Senga himself talked about having more "fun" out on the mound regardless of when he's called upon.
