Huh? With best bullpen in majors, Padres blow another late lead in 5-4 loss to Mets

NEW YORK — Baseball’s best bullpen has sprung a leak in New York. Rookie reliever Josh Spence walked light-hitting Ruben Tejada to force home the tiebreaking run and the Mets rallied late for the second night in a row, beating the San Diego Padres 5-4 on Tuesday. “We don’t see it very often,” Padres starter Wade LeBlanc said. “When it happens it’s rare, but it’s even more rare when it happens two nights in a row. You’ve got to cut those guys some slack. They’ve been amazing for the last few years. It’s going to happen to everybody and they’re going to be just fine.”
