Hot Mess in Hotlanta

Horrible tone setter as Mets drop both ends of a series opening doubleheader...and get pile driven in the process. Cartlon loses 5-2 in opener and Briles gets clobbered in nightcap, 13-1.

Bench homers twice in 8-4 win on Saturday, salvaging the only win for the Amazins, who bowed, 9-6, on Sunday. A five-run seventh in which a Tony Perez error accounts for three unearned runs sealed our fate.

After a brief stint alone in first, courtesy of the Pirates (68-49) losing five straight, the Mets (66-48) are back in second, a half game behind the Buccos as they head to Houston (62-54) for the last three games of a 10-game road trip.
