The Mets’ soft September schedule continues on Friday in Miami against the Marlins. After a hiccup last weekend that led to a three-game losing streak against the Nationals and Pirates, it seems like New York has woken up for the stretch run.
Before an off day, Chris Bassitt, Jacob deGrom, and the rest of the pitching staff helped get the Mets back on track by allowing just one run in a doubleheader sweep against Pittsburgh Wednesday. They’re in sole possession of first place in the NL East for the time being, as the Braves face the Mariners this weekend.
