Mets Series in Review: vs. Arizona

Last Series

Dates: July 10-12, 2015

Results: SWEEP!

W 4-2, W 4-2, W 5-3

Current Record: 47-42, 2 Games behind Washington

MVMet: One performance from each game stood out (Syndergaard, Harvey, and Kirk), but I think Harvey doing it at the plate and on the mound gives him the edge.

LVMet: Curtis Granderson and Kevin Plawecki combined to go 1-15, but the team swept, so I’m declaring no LVP for the final series before the All-Star break.
