Series Thread: Wash. Nationals @ NY Mets (5/20-23)

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Matz pitched well enough and even though he allowed 10 hits, he did strike out 7, and only gave up 1 run in 6 innings, but gets the no decision.

Familia gets credit for a hold in his 1 inning of work.
(hopefully things will turn around for the better for him now)

Gsellman is charged with a blown hold & blown save...but thanks to Dom Smith & Cargo, also gets a vulture win.

Diaz earns the save. (#12)

Fun Fact:
The Mets went with an all right-handed lineup on Thursday against a right-handed starting pitcher for just the second time in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.


Also:
New York placed infielders Robinson Cano and Jeff McNeil on the injured list prior to the game, leaving the team without two regular position players.

Cano strained his left quad running out a grounder Wednesday, and McNeil has a tight left hamstring, which he believes occurred stealing a base in the ninth inning Tuesday. Luis Guillorme and Ryan O'Rourke were recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
The Mets also claimed former Phillies OF Aaron Altherr off waivers from San Francisco and designated RHP Tim Peterson for assignment.

Yo update:
Cespedes has surgery, won't return this season

Goes without say but much needed sweep (if only they didn't get swept by the Marlins). Detroit is a beatable team, let's keep this momentum going.
