Mets find new way to disappoint in ugly loss to Braves

Normally, the Mets wait until later in the year to have the Braves derail their season.

But Atlanta continued to do a number on the free-falling Mets on Tuesday, as the Amazin’s blew a three-run lead and lost 7-4.

It was their 10th defeat in their last 11 games, this one in especially ugly fashion on a sweltering night at Citi Field.

When a team is playing as poorly as the Mets are these days, they tend to find new ways to disappoint and this one was no different.

They got five scoreless innings from Frankie Montas in his Mets debut after missing the first three months of the season with a strained lat.

And an offense that’s been slumping finally got a big two-out hit, as Brett Baty delivered a two-run single in the fourth that helped give them a 3-0 lead.

That hit was their second of the night- and last until the ninth inning- and they’ve scored just 14 runs in their last eight losses.

A ninth-inning rally fell short, as Francisco Lindor grounded out to end it, stranding a pair of baserunners.

The bullpen, which entered having allowed the second-most baserunners in the majors this month — only the Twins have been worse, according to Fangraphs — was knocked around again.
