The Braves finally got Soroka back but have not been playing well for a while.  Strange to see Riley make a fielding gaffe to blow a game.

For all the problems the Mets have had, they are only 4 games back from Atlanta.

Senga looked terrific.  Had good control of his fastball and he threw it consistently in the 96-97 range.  It had movement and he was able to get ahead in the strike count consistently with it.  That forkball is tough with two strikes.

Thought Ottavino looked shaky again and might have gotten into a big mess had Realmuto not tried to steal second.  Ottavino has a very deliberate motion and teams have been successful running against him for years but Realmuto didn't get a great jump, Alvarez has a gun and McNeil made a nice tag to get him pretty easily.  (Of course the ump, who was in great position, missed the call; thank god for replay).

Happy for Escobar, who had a big hit to get a badly needed insurance run.  Just seems like a really nice guy.

Lindor is up to 10 HRs now.  He continues to hit extra base hits.  And pretty much nothing else.  What an odd season for him so far.

Carrasco vs Nola tonight.  Nola got bombed by the Braves his last start and has been struggling.  Who knows how Cookie will do today.  I certainly do not.

I think it is safe to say the game will be more high scoring than the one last night.
