Having a real shortstop sure is nice for a change

The Mets extended their winning streak to a four games with a 2-0 victory over the Marlins. Jason Vargas came through with a huge bounce-back start, something desperately needed as the Mets work through this brutal stretch of consecutive games without a day off. Amed Rosario generated the decisive run with his legs, then closed out the game with a sparkling defensive play, showcasing the tools that made him the best prospect in baseball before last season.

After sitting out two weeks, the struggling Vargas started the night with three perfect innings and allowed only one baserunner through the first four.
