The Wrap:

Peterson gives Mets the stuff they need

NEW YORK -- David Peterson’s first strikeout pitch of Wednesday evening soared from one end of the strike zone to the other, so flummoxing Rhys Hoskins that the slugger, who had punished Peterson in their previous meeting, didn’t even wait for the umpire’s call to start walking back to the

Harumph.... Mets had their 1st 2 batters on base to start the game...and then bupkis.

Hope this isn't another one of those games where Jake gets little to no run support.

Also...this HP ump's strike zone is all over the place.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead 1-0 after 3 and a half...but easily should be by more.



Getting numerous opportunities but not cashing in....as of yet.
Also....deGrom already has 7 K's thru 3.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

deGrom just K'd the side in order in the 4th.
He now has 10...on just 62 pitches.

Un-Be-Lievable.

Onto the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And....it’s begun.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Rox scored 3 in the 5th.
Mets scored 1 (Alonso HR) in the 6th

3-2 Rockies. Mid 6th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow. That was an impressive win even if it was just 7 innings...but I’ll gladly take it.

Final score game 1...
Mets 4 - Rockies 3

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Game 2 got off to a "rockie" start...(pun intended)

Luchessi gave up 3 runs in the 1st.

3-0 Rox after 2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Jeff McNeil's 2 run double in the 4th gets the Mets right back into this one.

3-2 Rox, mid 4th.

Gsellman coming in.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh well...Colorado broke it open w/ a 4 spot off Jacob Barnes in the 5th.

Mets lose the nitecap 7-2.

Back at it on Sunday (weather permitting)

Game 1:

The Wrap/Recap....

A W for deGrom, who nearly makes K history

This time, the Mets were not about to let Jacob deGrom down following a flirtation with history. Shortly after deGrom came within one of Tom Seaver’s 51-year-old record for consecutive strikeouts, the Mets rallied late to give their ace his first win of the season in a 4-3 victory over

DeGrom strikes out 9 in row, 14 in all, in victory

Jacob deGrom fell one strikeout shy of matching Tom Seaver's major league record of 10 in a row in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

Game 2:

Márquez's 7-inning CG ends Rockies' skid

DENVER -- Germán Márquez isn’t quite there yet. But he’s closer. The Rockies’ ace right-hander tossed a complete game in the Rockies’ 7-2 win over the Mets in Game 2 of their seven-inning doubleheader at Coors Field on Saturday night. It was his best outing yet in what had so

Ready to 'get this thing rolling,' Mets split DH

As the Mets began what they hoped would be a long stretch of games unimpeded by weather, COVID-19 cancellations or any other disruptive phenomena, streaks ruled their day. A winning streak. A strikeout streak. A multi-time on-base streak. All of which came to an end. The Mets’ run of four
