The Mets play their final home game of the season tonight as they take on the Braves to close out the season in 2017. The Mets had a comeback win last night as they were down 3-0 going into the 7th. They got two runs against Dickey in the 7th, they tied the game in the 8th and they won it in the ninth. It was meaningless. It was full of meaning. Take your narrative but it was fun to see the team have fun for a night.
Robert Gsellman closes out Citi Field. He is 7-7 over 24 starts and 113.2 innings with a 5.38 ERA, 5.02 FIP and 1.522 WHIP. Two starts ago (against Atlanta!) he was fantastic allowing 1 run, not earned, over 7.0 innings from only 3 hits. Last time out he allowed 6 runs, 5 earned, in 5.0 innings off 4 hits.
