What happened: A dropped popup with two outs and the bases loaded was scored as a three-run double, charging all three runs to the pitcher. The New York Mets went on to lose 14-3.
Why it matters: The ruling magnified another costly defensive breakdown during the Mets' three-game skid. The defeat dropped New York further below .500.
By the numbers: The Mets fell to 36-53 after allowing 14 runs. The disputed play accounted for three runs and contributed to six earned runs charged to the starter.
What to watch: Watch for any official scoring change and how the Mets respond defensively in their next game.
