A failed suicide squeeze ran the Braves out of a golden opportunity Thursday in what ultimately became a mistake-filled extra-innings loss to the Mets.
Outfielder Ramon Laureano — who later overran Jeff McNeil’s walk-off single in the 3-2 loss — was caught between third base and home plate after Jarred Kelenic did not attempt to bunt on a pitch way out of the zone, resulting in Laureano being tagged for the second out in a tied game in the 10th inning.
Kelenic squared up before Mets reliever Phil Maton released the pitch and Maton released a high and outside pitch that would have been quite difficult — if not impossible — to lay down a fair bunt.
