Mets Fall to Phillies, Suffer Key Loss

The Arizona Diamondbacks faced a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies, with their bullpen failing to protect a late 2-1 lead. Kevin Ginkel's solo homer allowed the Rockies to tie the game, and a crucial throwing error by shortstop Geraldo Perdomo led to the game-winning run. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves suffered a significant 9-2 defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers after their bullpen collapsed in the ninth inning, allowing seven earned runs. Closer Raisel Iglesias ended a 30-game streak without an earned run, conceding five runs in a disastrous performance. The New York Mets also struggled, losing 6-4 to the Philadelphia Phillies as their bullpen failed to maintain a late lead despite a solid start from Luis Severino. Key mistakes in the bullpen across these games underscore ongoing issues for these teams as they head into the latter part of the season.
