Mets Series in Review: @Pirates

Last Series

Dates: May 22-24, 2015

Results: Swept L

L 4-1, L 8-2, L 9-1

Current Record: 24-21, 2.5 Games behind Washington

MVMet: I guess the Mets middle infield can share this award, as Wilmer Flores and Daniel Murphy combined to go 9-19 in Pittsburgh, providing half of the position players hits.

LVMet: Everybody else? I’m giving it to Matt Harvey, because he’s whatever Gotham needs him to be. Now, can Mets fans have their faith rewarded?

Bullpen

            4.82 ERA, 9.1 IP, 9 H, 6 R (5 ER), 2 BB, 4 SO, 13 GO: 5 FO, 1 IR – 0 S

            The bullpen wasn’t great, but the game was generally out of their hands by the time they took over.

Looking Ahead

            The Mets have a pair of series at home against the teams at the bottom of the NL East: the Phillies, and the Marlins. They need to get back on a winning track.
