Mets Post Game: Cardinals 6, Mets 5

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Chris Schwinden went 6 innings let up 6 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
  2. Willie Harris went 3 for 4 with his 2nd home run of the season.
  3. Josh Satin got his first career RBIs with a 2 run double.

Chris Schwinden got into bad luck tonight. He deserved his first career win with his outing today but, I guess the stars were just not alligned for him tonight. Don’t worry however, he did get his first career hit.

Congrats to Josh Satin on his first career RBIs. Hopefully he can form to become a quality run producer.

Although he was tagged with the loss tonight, I still love Daniel Herrera but I don’t know why.

Grade for the Game: B

Mets Post Game: Mets 6, Nationals 3

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Lucas Duda hit a bomb into the upper deck of Nationals Park, a game tying shot for his 9th homer of the year.
  2. Willie Harris hit a pinch hit 2 run single to give the Mets the lead.
  3. In his big league debut Josh Satin went 1 for 2 with a single.

I don’t know what to say about Mike Pelfrey. The one plus over his last couple of starts have been his fastball velocity. It has been climbing back up into 95-97 range as of late. However, he still does not have a put away pitch in his arsenal. I still think he should use his curve more.

Ruben Tejada is making a case here that he can hit at this level.

Josh Stinson was great out of the bullpen again going 2 innings today showing poise as a relief pitcher.

Congrats to Josh Satin on his first big league hit.

Grade for the Game: B+
