Try it free On the night they celebrated the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' invasion of Shea Stadium, the crashing Mets endured yet another hard day's night at Citi Field. HELP! Deadline acquisition Ryan Helsley and the bullpen coughed up a late lead for the second consecutive night as the Mets fell for the 14th time in 16 games with an 11-9 shootout loss to the Mariners in Flushing. Carlos Mendoza's flailing team only maintained a half-game lead for the final NL wild-card spot because the Reds flushed an 8-1 advantage and lost to the scorching Brewers in Cincinnati. 6 Ryan Helsley struggled once again in the Mets' latest loss on Friday night. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Sean Manaea was tagged for two homers and four runs on six hits in five innings, his seventh straight start since returning from the injured list without completing at least six innings. The lefty sports a 7.98 ERA over his past three outings. Helsley couldn't hold a 6-5 cushion in the seventh — after also squandering an eighth-inning lead in Thursday's loss to the Braves — permitting Seattle to tie the score on doubles by MLB home run leader Cal Raleigh and Eugenio Suárez. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS 6 New York Mets pitcher Brooks Raley reacts after giving up a two-RBI double to Seattle Mariners second baseman Cole Young in the seventh inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The Mariners then added four more runs in the inning on run-scoring hits by Dominic Canzone and Donovan Solano and a two-run double by Cole Young against lefty Brooks Raley, with both relievers booed off the mound. Demoted starter Frankie Montas also heard jeers while giving up an additional run in the eighth, before Francisco Alvarez pulled the Mets back within two with a three-run homer to right in the bottom half. Francisco Lindor also went deep twice and Juan Soto ripped his 30th of the year earlier in the game for the Mets, whose record since June 12 is an abysmal 19-34. Beforehand, the Mets (64-58 overall) staged a pregame concert by a tribute band to honor the anniversary of the Fab Four's 1965 concert at Shea, and they used photoshopped pics of their current players dressed up in 60s-era Beatles garb and haircuts on the scoreboard throughout the game. The Mariners reached Manaea for a run in the first inning on a leadoff single by Randy Arozarena and an RBI double into the left-field corner by Julio Rodriguez. 6 Sean Manaea reacts after giving up a home run.

It marked Lindor's seventh leadoff home run of the year, tying the franchise record set by Curtis Granderson in both 2015 and 2016. Mitch Garver put Manaea in another hole in the second, clocking a 3-2 sweeper over the wall in center for his seventh homer and a 2-1 Seattle lead. 6 Francisco Lindor homered twice in Friday's loss.

Lindor responded again in the bottom of the inning with his 24th, a two-run shot to right off Castillo for his third multi-homer game of the year. Soto followed with his 30th of the year on Castillo's next pitch for a 6-4 Mets advantage. The Mariners' halved that deficit on Young's RBI single to center off reliever Tyler Rogers in the sixth.

Raleigh hits MLB-leading 46th homer as Mariners outslug Mets 11-9
Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 46th homer, sparked a five-run seventh inning with his first double in over a month and the Seattle Mariners set a team record with nine doubles to beat the skidding New York Mets 11-9 on Friday night. Raleigh hit a two-run shot to the second deck in left field and became the first player to reach 100 RBIs this season to give the Mariners a 4-3 lead in the third. He helped the Mariners rally from a 6-5 deficit in the seventh with his first double since June 27 and then doubled again in the eighth. The comeback helped Seattle overcome two homers by Francisco Lindor. Lindor hit a leadoff homer and then a two-run shot in the fourth for a 5-4 lead. Juan Soto also homered and Francisco Alvarez hit a three-run shot in the eighth but the Mets lost for the 14th time in 16 games. After Raleigh scored the tying run on a double by Eugenio Suárez off Ryan Helsley (3-4), Dominic Canzone followed with a go-ahead RBI double off Brooks Raley. Donavan Solano hit an RBI double off the top of the left field wall and rookie Cole Young capped the big inning with a two-run double. Mitch Garver homered and Julio Rodriguez hit a pair of RBI doubles as the Mariners won for the 10th time in 13 games. Young added an RBI single to get Seattle within one run in the sixth. Seattle starter Luis Castillo tied a season worst by allowing six runs and nine hits in four innings. New York starter Sean Manaea allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. After Jackson Kowar allowed Alvarez's homer, Matt Brash retired Lindor to end the eighth and Andrés Muñoz converted his 29th save. Raleigh has matched his career high with his 100th RBI in his 448th at-bat. Last season, he finished with 100 RBIs in 546 at-bats. Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (10-6, 3.08) opposes New York RHP Nolan McLean, who makes his major league debut, on Saturday afternoon.

Mets stunned in 11-9 loss to Mariners after bullpen's late meltdown
The Mets suffered yet another heartbreaking loss on Friday night, this time losing in a slugfest to the Seattle Mariners, 11-9. Here are the takeaways... -Fresh off of his great series offensively against the Atlanta Braves, Francisco Lindor was at it again against Luis Castillo and the Mariners. With terrific numbers against Castillo, Lindor wasted no time and smacked a leadoff home run to the opposite field. It was the seventh time this year that he's led off the game with a long ball which ties Curtis Granderson (twice) for the most in franchise history. Lindor's night hardly ended there, though. The shortstop came through again in the second inning with an RBI single to take the lead which capped off three straight two-out hits, including Francisco Alvarez and Ronny Mauricio, that drove in two runs. All three hits also came with two strikes. Down again in the fourth after Cal Raleigh homered in the third for an MLB-leading 46th time, Lindor flexed his muscles once more with a two-run blast, this one to the pull side, to give New York a 5-4 lead. Lindor's two home runs on the night were his 23rd and 24th of the season and showed his power to all fields. -On the very next pitch, Juan Soto joined in on the action with a solo bomb to center field to go back-to-back with Lindor and double the Mets' lead. Just like the second inning, all three runs came with two outs after Mauricio kept the inning alive with a single to turn it over to the top of the lineup. -Pitching for New York was Sean Manaea who was hoping to get back on track after a couple of shaky starts in a row. The left-hander wasn't at his best, allowing four runs on six hits (two home runs) and a walk, but he matched his season-high with seven strikeouts, including one in the fourth inning that helped him escape a jam. Overall, Manaea went five innings -- the streak continues -- and, thanks to his offense, did just enough to leave the game in line for a win. That is, until disaster struck behind him. -It started with Tyler Rogers who allowed a run in the sixth to get Seattle to within a run. The roof caved in in the seventh, though. Bumped down an inning after a string of bad outings since getting traded to the Mets, Ryan Helsley's rough patch continued. Raleigh greeted him with a leadoff double, but after striking out Julio Rodriguez on three pitches, finishing him off with a 101 mph fastball, Helsley looked to regain his form. However, after Eugenio Suarez tied the game with another hard-hit double, manager Carlos Mendoza pulled Helsley in favor of his lefty Brooks Raley with a couple lefties due up. But Raley, who hadn't allowed a run since returning from the IL, couldn't stop the bleeding either. After allowing the inherited runner to score, Raley allowed three more runs on three hits and a walk and was only able to get one out before getting replaced by Ryne Stanek who finally put the inning to bed. In all, the Mariners scored five runs and took a 10-6 lead in a horrendous seventh. -With most of the high-leverage relievers already used and New York down four with six outs to play with, Frankie Montas got another chance out of the bullpen. The right-hander immediately gave up long doubles to Raleigh and Rodriguez that scored another run but was able to get the next three outs. He loaded the bases in the ninth, but got out of it. -Alvarez made things interesting and brought some life back into another packed but dejected Citi Field crowd with a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to get the Mets to within two runs. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough after the heart of the order went quietly in the ninth against closer Andres Muñoz. Game MVP: Cal Raleigh In a wild game that featured 28 hits, The Big Dumper went 3-for-5, had eight total bases, scored three runs and drove in two. Highlights What's next The Mets and Mariners continue their three-game series at Citi Field on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. RHP Nolan McLean (MLB debut) will face off against RHP Bryan Woo (10-6, 3.08 ERA).
