Mets Series in Review: @Giants

Mets fans have a reason to smile after that road trip, and with this guy pithing Friday night at home

Last Series

Dates: July 6-8, 2015

Results: Win 2/3

W 3-0, L 3-0, W 4-1

Current Record: 44-42, 3 Games behind Washington

MVMet: The Mets starting pitcher’s win the collective award, as they compiled a 1.23 ERA over 22 IP in the series.

LVMet: He wouldn’t fix all of the teams problems on offense, but getting Lucas Duda right would be just as impactful to this lineup right now as importing a slugger.

Bullpen

            4 IP, 3 H, BB, 5 SO, 4 GO, 1 IR – 0 S

            The Mets bullpen has been great this year, but the return of a healthy and fresh Jenrry Mejia can only help, as he gives Terry Collins another arm he actually trusts out there, and gives the Mets a dominant 1-2 punch with Familia. He looked great with Las Vegas, striking out 6 of 16 batters faced, with 0 walks allowed, and a 14% swinging strike rate. If Bobby Parnell ever gets back to previous form, the 3-headed monster at the back of the pen would shrink Mets games down to 6 innings.

Looking Ahead

            The Mets host the Arizona Diamondbacks for 3 before the All-Star break next week.
