Solid ground right now. The lineup producing 6.1 R/G this stretch. That's fuel for the score. On the other hand, 5.6 RA/G this week. Hard to keep the score up with that.

Mets News

The New York Mets secured a much-needed 2-1 victory over the Washington Nationals, thanks to a stellar outing from David Peterson and a clutch two-run single by Bo Bichette, who is finally shaking off his slow start. This win not only salvages a split in the four-game series but also highlights the recent resurgence of key players, with Bichette's performance being a beacon of hope after he had struggled early in the season. With the Mets now sitting at 21-27, the offensive spark from Bichette and the steady hand of the bullpen might be the turning point they need. Both players are indicators of a team on the brink of better days, and with a 5-2 record over the past week, they could be finding their rhythm just in time.
