NEW YORK -- It seems as if the sun has not shined in Flushing, Queens, in over a week. The weather has had a significant effect on the Mets' game schedule the past few days and it has been even more difficult for the Mets' starting pitchers who have been anxiously awaiting their outings as the rain dictated the play.
Similar to Jacob deGrom and Zack Wheeler after their rain-delayed outings, Jason Vargas put together an excellent start Thursday in the Mets' 5-2 win in Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Marlins at Citi Field.
