After a a long, tough road trip out west, the Mets remembered tonight that there’s nothing like some home cooking. The Mets rode Chris Bassit’s signature start so far in the orange and blue to a 4-0 victory over the Brewers. Bassitt was basically in control from the word go, striking out seven over eight shutout innings, allowing only three hits and a walk all evening.
On the offensive side, the Mets looked thrilled to be back in the eastern time zone and got going right away. As they have done so much this year, the Mets hitters made the opposing starter—Adrian Houser tonight—throw a myriad of pitches early on, and the offense broke through in the first inning with some well-placed hits.
