Mets vs Dodgers

So the "streaking hot" Mets met the juggernaut Dodgers.

The Dodgers just seem unbeatable right now. Until the twenty-seventh out is recorded they seem to still have a chance. It seemed like the Mets should be able to at the very least muster up one win, with Harvey pitching in this series, then the following day (yesterday) it seemed like they where going to win. With the Mets up 4-2 going into the bottom of the ninth, Either hit a two run blast to tie up the score against Hawkins. Puig later, in extra innings wound up scoring after a hustle double (big surprise there).

The Mets never seemed out of any of these games but kept on falling just short to be on the winning side of the scorecard.

Some other worthy notes is that Marlon Byrd finally hit is 100th homerun of his career. I think that this will take some pressure off him. There is no way he wasn't thinking about this, and letting it build in his head. But I'm sure he would take a win instead of his 100th HR.

That being said, congratulations to him!!!
