MVMet: It was great to see Juan Lagares have a strong series against Philly, but the nod goes to Travis ∂’Arnaud, who had his best game in the majors so far. Hat tip to another strong performance from Daniel Murphy, runner up for the second straight series and 12-29 with 4 doubles and a homerun over the past 7 games.

LVMet: David Wright gets the nod with a 1-12 performance. Dillon Gee had a rough final line, but he kept the Mets in the game until he left, when Josh Edgin allowed a grand slam with three inherited runners scoring.
