The New York Mets road trip came to a disastrous end, as
they Miami Marlins swept them in the three-game series. The Mets fell under
.500 for the first time since April 19th, losing six of their last
seven games as the Marlins pitching staff mowed down the Mets lineup every
night. The Mets were unable to get anything going against a Marlins team that
has been dominant at home with a 17-5 record. Here are some things to take away
from the series.
-Positives
The Mets starting pitchers were able to bounce back after
ugly performances against the Colorado Rockies in Denver .
All three starters, Jon Niese, Bartolo Colon and Zack Wheeler, threw quality
starts and lasted at least six innings. Niese continues to toss gem after gem
for the Mets. Through six starts on the season, Niese owns a 1.82 ERA and 1.01
WHIP in 39.2 innings. He has given up one or less earned runs in four start
starts, yet disappointingly, he only has a 2-2 record to show for his efforts.
