Major League Baseball Games are Played for Nine Innings.

"The Mets were well on their way to defeating the Braves in Atlanta on Tuesday night, but one inning dashed those hopes."

If it wasn't for that one inning where the Braves scored four runs, the Mets probably would have won.

Also, if it wasn't for that one inning where the Mets scored four runs, the Braves would have shut out the Mets.

But if you don't count those innings, and you don't count the other two runs by the Braves, the score was actually 0-0.

 

"After starter Carlos Carrasco gave up a second-inning solo home run  to Ozzie Albies, the veteran was cruising through the Braves lineup. Two two-run homers from Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso put the Mets up comfortably 4-1, and Carrasco was on the verge of his third straight dominant start when the sixth inning started."

A three-run lead in the sixth inning in Atlanta in not a comfortable lead by any means.
