A group of Triple-A pitchers and a lineup of mostly Triple-A hitters faced the best team in baseball twice Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. The results were predictable.In the first game of a twin bill, the Mets were walloped by the Atlanta Braves, 21-3. Daniel Vogelbach’s three-run homer off right-hander Michael Tonkin put the Mets (52-54) on the board in the bottom of the eighth to prevent a second shutout in as many days.However, the Mets were unable to avoid the same fate in the nightcap, falling 6-0.Spencer Strider, an NL Cy Young Award favorite, shut the Mets out for seven innings. Jose Quintana took his fourth tough-luck loss (0-4) since making his season debut, holding the Braves to only a single run on four hits and three walks over six innings.“Obviously, it got away from us,” said manager Buck Showalter said after the matinee contest. “We’re not doing much offensively. Until Vogey’s home run, it had been a real challenge for us.”...
