last night's win

Perfectly average, for better or worse. Took last night by 5. That matters. The catch: the bats at 3.1 R/G are the biggest drag right now.

Mets News

The Mets snapped their recent slump in style, crushing the Phillies 6-1 thanks to Nolan McLean's stellar performance, where he struck out 10 and limited the opposition to just two hits. This win marks their first road series victory since early June, injecting some much-needed momentum into a lackluster season that currently sits at 41-58. Francisco Lindor, who reached base five times, is showing signs of life at the plate, a welcome sight as the team looks to build on this victory. Still, with the trade deadline looming, speculation is rife about potential moves, particularly regarding Clay Holmes, as the Mets navigate a challenging path ahead. A series win is a breath of fresh air, but the real test will be whether they can sustain this newfound energy.
