Those messages to the Mets front office were delivered by none other than the pitchers themselves, in the form of a dominant start by the former and yet another blown save by the latter on the eve of Wednesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline.
At least there was this for the Mets: Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto blasting home runs that let their team escape Guaranteed Rate Field with a fifth straight victory, 5-2 over the White Sox in 11 innings.
