The Mets have won a series.
No, this is not a drill. Not a misspeak. Not a typo. The Mets have won a series. Not the World Series, but when you are having a season like the Mets are having, anything that contains “win” or “won” or “avoided annihilation” is viewed as stunningly positive.
Shut down in order for four innings, the Mets slapped San Diego starter Clayton Richard around for a four-run fifth inning, added a two-run bomb by Jose Bautista and went on to a 6-4 victory Wednesday at Citi Field for their first series victory in 18 attempts.
