Mets Series in Review: @Braves

The pair of aces who will help Mets fans forget this series over the next two days

Last Series

Dates: April 10-12

Results: L 2/3

L 5-3, L 5-3, W 4-3

Current Record: 3-3

MVMet: David Wright had the type of series the Mets will need from him often this season, although he did not get a lot of support from his teammates. Hopefully David is getting hot in time for this big home stand against the weaker teams of the NL East.

LVMet: Dillon Gee allowed three straight doubles to start the 5^th, and then a triple to Eric Young Jr, which put the Mets in too big of a hole to overcome.

Bullpen

2.57 ERA, 7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, BB, 10 SO, 8 GO: 4 FO, 3 IR – 0 S

            The only blemish against the bullpens record this past weekend came after an unusual decision by David Wright forced Rafael Montero to get an extra out in the inning. Wright chose to go for the tag of the lead runner instead of the sure 2^nd out at 1B and both runners would end up scoring. Despite plenty of concern expressed about the Mets bullpen during Spring Training, it’s proven to be reliable early.

Looking Ahead

            Mets head north for their first home stand of 2015, with Philly, Miami and Atlanta due to visit over the next 11 days.

Monday at 1:10 PM: Aaron Harang (1-0, 0.00 ERA) @ Jacob deGrom (0-1, 3.00 ERA)

Tuesday at 7:10 PM: David Buchanan (0-1, 18.00 ERA) @ Matt Harvey (1-0, 0.00 ERA)

Wednesday at 7:10 PM: Jerome Williams (0-1, 1.50 ERA) @ Jon Niese (0-0, 1.80 ERA)
