For a third straight day the Mets scored over 10 runs, and for the second straight day that total was 13. A lot happened so let’s break it down:
- David Wright hit a mammoth homer over the huge batter’s eye in center field. It was his first homer since July 11th and maybe it’s a good sign that he’s healing.
- Cuddyer and John Mayberry also added in homers. Actually it was good day all around for Cuddyer
- Plawecki hit a bases clearing double when the Mets went from controlling the game to washing the Nationals out
- Lagares added two hits including a double and a triple
- Gee had an unfortunate line. He had two balls hit hard against him early but should have gotten out clean but a misplayed ball between Reynolds and Murphy allowed 2 runs to come in
- Rice, Mejia, Familia and Morris all had good to great relief outings
So how long can the Mets keep up the offense? Right now the team is in a collective hot streak. Can they stretch this out into the season? Is this more indicative of the team developing? Time will tell!
