Boomer & Carton: Jerry Was On His Game Thursday Morning

Jerry Recco brought the goods early on Thursday morning. Everyone else was clearly playing for second.

The "update maven" was at his best, recapping an absolutely forgettable night in Queens and a ray of hope in Florida.

The Mets suffered one of the worst losses you'll ever see after blowing a three-run lead and having a game-winning home run pulled back over the fence for the final out in an unreal 4-3 defeat to last-place Atlanta on Wednesday night, which completed the Braves' three-game sweep.

The news wasn't all terrible. The Mets are still in a three-way tie for the top NL wild card spot because the Cardinals and Giants also lost.

The Yankees, on the other hand, made it two straight wins and moved closer to the second AL wild card spot, thanks to two more home runs from rookie sensation Gary Sanchez in an 11-5 win over Tampa Bay.
