The Mets went 5-1 this week mostly on the back of their pitching—notably their starting pitching, which has been excellent. Jacob deGrom and Marcus Stroman have been elite, Taijuan Walker put forth another solid performance, and David Peterson had a bounce back week. The bullpen has looked much improved from last week as well and Robert Gsellman and Trevor Hildenberger both had positive 2021 debuts. The one black mark on the Mets’ pitching staff came in the nightcap of the doubleheader on Saturday, when Joey Lucchesi was jumped on early and Jacob Barnes poured gasoline on the fire.
