Positives:
–Joey Votto continued his on base streak with an RBI single in the 6th after two strikeouts to start the game. Votto’s streak now sits at 44 games and only four behind Pete Rose’s franchise record of 48.
–Despite the two unearned runs that came home in the fifth, Sam LeCure did a wonderful job coming out of the bullpen in long relief. Ending the fielding nightmare that was the third inning with a strikeout, LeCure then retired the Mets three up, three down in the fourth and would’ve finished the fifth scoreless if not for an Ivan DeJesus error.
