Good win today.  Jake was amazing.  Since his return, the one thing I see that is different now is that when he gets to around 85 or 90 pitches, the quality of his stuff deteriorates quickly.  Buck probably left him in too late in the sixth (he struck out 13, which is great, but it took a lot of pitches to make that happen).

Anyway, great to get a 4 game sweep of the Pirates.  The Braves beat the Phillies again so the lead remains one game.

The Mets now travel to Milwaukee to play a 3 game series with the Brewers.  We have Max returning for the game on Monday (against Burnes, this should be a pitcher’s dual), then Carrasco and Walker.

Thursday is a much needed day off, then we play a 3 game series against Oakland in Oakland,  Looks like we will pitch Bassitt on Friday night (against his old team), then deGrom and Scherzer.  That is a pretty good set of pitchers to be starting.

All 3 will have an extra day of rest.

Besides Max, I believe we have Tylor Megill returning to the Mets from the IL on Monday.  And Drew Smith is expected back on Tuesday.

Our bullpen suddenly looks pretty deep.

Diaz
Ottovino
Lugo
May
Smith
Megill
Williams
Rodriguez

Starling Marte remains out but should return by the end of this week.

Let’s hope everyone can stay healthy for a few weeks until the season is over.

Down in Syracuse, Francisco Alvarez hit a 3 run HE in the first inning, got another hit and is finally up to .200.  He is going to be a good one.
