Tank engine: Mets tee off on Connor Thomas in 14-3 loss

Once upon a time (although it wasn’t just once), the Braves used Carlos Carrasco in a close game. Ronald Acuña Jr. got injured in that game and ended up missing about six weeks of play.

He’s back, y’all. Yes, Ronald Acuña Jr. will return tonight after about a six-week layoff due to a hamstring injury.
