The Mets fielded a makeshift lineup Saturday afternoon that barely would have met requirements for a road game in spring training, much less an August clash against the team with the best record in baseball.
Former Mets farmhand Allan Winans, who was left unprotected and then selected by the Braves in the 2021 Rule 5 draft, throttled a further depleted lineup that wasWinans allowed no runs on four hits over seven innings in his second big league start, but the Mets avoided a second consecutive shutout on Daniel Vogelbach’s three-run homer in the eighth inning.
Relievers Reed Garrett and Josh Walker and position player Danny Mendick were rocked for 16 additional runs — eight in the ninth inning against Mendick — and six home runs, including two by MLB leader Matt Olson. Jason Szenes/New York PostThe 26-year-old Reyes, who was signed as a free agent last winter, opened the season in the Mets’ bullpen, posting five scoreless relief appearances in April.
The Mets, who have lost nine of 11 since selling at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, loaded the bases against Winans in the bottom half, but their 2018 17th-round draft pick struck out Abraham Almonte for the final out of the inning.
