The Mets don't get a reprieve as they travel to Atlanta for a weekend series. In the span of four days, they managed to let the Phillies right back in the division race. September doesn't look as fun as it did on Sunday.

Phillies 6, Mets 3: This series won't be in the old time capsule. Three times the Mets held leads, and three times the Mets lost. Speaking of threes, not even back-to-back-back homers could lift the Mets in the series finale. In three games, the Mets' bullpen lost a lead late twice -- and on Tuesday, the lead disappeared in the third inning. Closer Billy Wagner gave up a game-tying home run to Pat Burrell in the ninth inning, and the Phillies took the lead for good in the 10th inning. Philadelphia's only five games back in the National League East, and the Mets have lost four straight. Before the game, the Mets took Edward Kunz of Oregeon State in the draft.
