- Chris Young went 4.2 innings, giving up three runs on four hits, while striking out three and walking two. All three of the runs allowed by Young were solo home runs, two of which belonged to Wilson Ramos. Young was successful early on, but once the home runs started flyin', it went down hill. He struggled throughout the rest of his start.
- Ike Davis went 3-4. Besides the bat, what has impressed me the most about Davis so far this season is his hustle on the base paths. He has had at least two infield hits this season, and tonight he went home on a sacrifice bunt by Young and made it.
- Josh Thole went 1-4 with a double and three RBIs.
- The bullpen was impressive. Ryota Igarashi, Taylor Buchholz, Jason Isringhausen and Francisco Rodriguez pitched a combined 4.2 innings of relief and held the Nationals to just one additional run.
Next up: The Mets look to make it six in a row as they continue their series against the Nationals in Washington at 7:05 p.m.
Shocking. Feels so nice, though! Finally. Looking good lately but it's not all good yet 'cause we're still in the cellar. Could get out with a win tonight! Could also tie Atlanta if they lose. 6 in a row seems like too much to ask for, though. Seems like 5 was a huge miracle already but why not make it six!
