Bruce powers Mets past Phillies 5-4 to stop 4-game slide

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets - Box Score - April 19, 2017 - ESPN

Jay Bruce went 3-4 with 2 HR and 5 RBI in the Mets' win. He's the 3rd Mets player to drive in all of his team's runs (minimum 5 runs) in a game. The other 2 are Todd Zeile in 2004 against the Phillies and Carlos Beltrán in 2008 against the Marlins.

Welcome Back, Jeurys Familia

Mets activate Familia after 15-game ban

Familia was activated from the restricted list, and catcher Kevin Plawecki was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas. Right-hander Rafael Montero and lefty Sean Gilmartin were optioned to Triple-A, and third baseman David Wright was transferred to the 60-day disabled list while recovering from neck surgery.

Durn, I wanted more scoring.

Cabrera gets caught trying to stretch a single. I like that these guys are being more aggressive on the bases but use your heads guys

I don't mind that so much...what I have an issue with is after Cespedes worked a walk to lead off the 5th...Bruce went after the 1st pitch he saw and promptly GIDP. Why not take 1 or 2 pitches there?.....Maybe Yo could've stolen the base..or moved there on a WP.

To make matters worse, Cespedes is now out of the game with an apparent leg injury from that play.

True dat, Nola has given up a few walks tonight
