Series Thread: NY Mets @ LA Dodgers (5/27-30)

[Nasty_Magician]

Still early but really need to see more return on investment in that Seattle trade. Diaz hasn't looked dominant and Cano is meh.

I'll likely be paying more close attention to the Warriors-Raptors NBA finals game 1 tonight.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pitching duel going on.
Mets trail 1-0 at the 7th inning stretch.
LA scored their run 2 batters in right out of the gate in the 1st.

Vargas has now gone 7. Good for him.
Could end up being his best start of the year...but the Mets bats have been asleep for the most part so far. Only 3 hits as we head to the 8th.

LGM!

Final Score/NBA finals/Game 1
Toronto 118 - Golden State 109


Meanwhile both starters are now done.
Vargas went 7. Ryu went 7.2
Jansen comes in trying for the 4 out save.

1-0 Dodgers...mid 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh well..now it's 2-0 after 8.
Mets last chance.
3 outs to work with.

Mets got the tying run to the plate in the 9th but ended up dropping the finale 2-0.
Tough loss for Vargas...but he got no support from the offense.
They better snap out of their doldrums from that Wednesday night gut punch, before taking the field in Zona this weekend.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sadly, Vargas pitched more than well enough to win this one.
His hiccup in the 1st inning, along with zero support from the mets offense was the downfall.

Vargas spins gem, but Mets blanked by Dodgers
