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.

Key Moments:

Saturday

            Duda struck out swinging (at an 89 MPH cutter) with two outs and the bases loaded in the 1^st.

            Wheeler allowed the first four batters of the 2^nd to reach – walk, double, RBI single, RBI single – which prompted a visit from Dan Warthen that appeared to do the trick, as he’d retire the next three batters on four pitches.

            A Flores throwing error (his first in the majors) with one out opened the door an unearned run to score later in the frame – took too long to get the ball out of his glove and then the throw tailed down the 1B line. Wheeler got Montero swinging, but hit Aaron Hill with a 2-2 fastball (95 MPH), before allowing a Martin Prado RBI single. As a side note, Wheeler ended up striking out the side in the inning.
