NY Post: Mets slip again as Terry Collins says team seems ‘tight’. "Two days after the Mets dropped the Subway Series finale trying to manage Matt Harvey’s innings, they lost Tuesday trying to limit Jacob deGrom’s. They skipped deGrom’s turn in the rotation, and in his third spot start, Logan Verrett (1-2) finally fell short, coughing up four runs in the fifth on a pair of homers. After Jace Peterson hit his full-count pitch for a solo shot, Verrett intentionally walked Nick Markakis with two out, and then — upon falling behind Hector Olivera 0-2 — surrendered a three-run blast to left to put the Mets behind 4-1."

ESPN.com: "David Wright homered as the Mets lost for the fifth time in seven games. They stayed 6 1/2 games ahead of Washington, whose loss to Baltimore cut New York's magic number to six for clinching the division. 'Looks like we're tight,' Collins said...But other than Daniel Murphy's two doubles, New York rarely dented Wisler in finishing 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position."
