Meet the Mets
After sweeping the Cubs, the Mets continued their offensive resurgence in a come-from-behind win against the Marlins and now find themselves on a five-game winning streak. After an atrocious start by Matt Harvey, who gave up six runs and 11 hits before being chased in the fourth inning, the Mets’ bullpen shut out the Marlins for the rest of the night as the Mets bats came to life.
Yoenis Cespedes continued his hot streak at the plate and was joined by the rest of the team. Every Mets starter got a hit, with the exception of Neil Walker, who drew three walks. The Mets and Marlins continue their series today at 7:10 p.m.
