Good pitching stops bad skids. Sometimes the hitting doesn’t come and that’s how you go on a road trip to lose seven straight games. deGrom took the hill today to put a stop to that. The offense has been quiet to say the least. They finally where able to scratch and claw for two runs.
deGrom has been great this season whenever he goes out there! Flores has 33 RBIs and I liked the aggressiveness on the base paths. Ceciliani stealing the base but wrongfully being called out and Granderson getting thrown out in what seems like a botched hit and run were two times the Mets tried to set themselves up to score. I like that they tried to score from first, didn’t like that he didn't try to slide to evade the tag but he almost did. I’m just happy the Mets were able to stop their skid of seven in a row.
They are going to need to be aggressive on the base paths but taking the extra base smartly. It’s always exciting when the Mets win and Familia closes the door. They started a new streak today and it all starts with one.
