We have Team Coverage from steve. The mets season ends in disappointment of the 80 best of seven series in which one team jumped out to a 31 lead, 39 of them have gone on to win in game 5. Mets tried to beat the odds last night. New york picked its worst time of the season to make big mistakes. Matt harvey struck out nine in eight innings but he was a spectator after blowing the third save. Kc rally ties it. The mets had a 9th inning lead twice and 8th inning lead once.
