On April 27, 2025, the New York Mets, having taken an early 7-1 lead against the Washington Nationals, faced a devastating loss as their bullpen failed to protect the advantage. Despite a strong outing from starting pitcher Tyler Megill, who held the Nationals to three earned runs over 6.1 innings, the bullpen conceded a five-run rally. Closer Ryan Stanek was particularly noted for blowing the lead, culminating in a walk-off error that sealed the 8-7 defeat for the Mets.
It was one of those days when everything was going right until it all fell apart in the late innings. We canât afford to lose games like this.
The bullpen had been our strength so far, but today they faltered, allowing the Nationals to take advantage of our mistakes.
