The Mets continue to be buoyed by their excellent pitching and this week is no exception. The Mets’ staff pitched to a 1.76 ERA last week as a group, which is the second-best mark in baseball. The Mets held their opponents to three runs or fewer in each of the five games they played this week and the only time their opponent scored three runs came on Monday in their only loss for the week. The Mets also shut the Rockies out completely in Game 1 of Thursday’s doubleheader. This turn through the rotation, each of the Mets starters did enough to give the team a chance to win and the bullpen did not blow any leads this week; all runs surrendered by the bullpen came in games the Mets went on to win.
