Bullpen

            0.00 ERA, 7.1 IP, 2 H, 4 BB, 7 SO, 7 GO: 2 FO, 5 IR – 0 S

            Can’t complain about a perfect series from the bullpen, although they issued a few more walks than we’ve become accustomed to from this Mets staff. Surprising that Hansel Robles did not make his debut, as now he’ll be doing so in a bandbox during the hyped up Subway Series – with his reputation as a high adrenaline pitcher, he might just hit 100 MPH if comes into the series. Jeurys Familia has been great so far this year, especially since being moved to the closer’s role, allowing only one base runner during his two saves this week.

Looking Ahead

            The Mets head across town for the Yankees Stadium portion of the Subway Series this weekend before heading down to Miami for 3 against the Marlins.
