The game was a struggle for the New York Mets, who faced a disappointing 6-2 defeat against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pitcher David Peterson did not perform up to his usual standards, and the Mets were plagued by defensive errors and ineffective hitting.

Despite taking an early lead, the Mets couldn't capitalize, allowing the Blue Jays to take control with a series of crucial hits and runs. The loss puts the Mets in a tie with the Atlanta Braves for the third National League Wild Card spot.
