Poor baserunning and Boston power lead to Mets defeat

Three walks and a single led to the first run of the game. Michael Conforto then stroked a single to the left side to give the Mets a 2-0 lead, but Pete Alonso attempted to score from second and was tagged out ten feet before home plate, which wound up effectively killing the rally. Stroman then entered a rough stretch where, over the course of six batters, stretched over two innings, he gave up five extra base hits, four of which would come around to score.
