I subscribe to an old saying that you can not win pennants in April, but you can certainly lose them.
In their second meeting of the young season, the Mets atoned for their only series loss Thursday afternoon with a 6-3 victory, and three-game sweep over the Atlanta Braves. The division leading Mets now own a 4.5 game edge over the second place Braves.
The Mets’ schedule will remain division intensive through May 10. After this weekend’s Subway Series interruption against the Yankees, the Mets will resume their second go-around against the N.L. East with 10 more games, highlighted by another big four-game series against Washington.
