Robert Gsellman pulled a Matt Harvey, demanding the ball at a time his team needed some Dark Knight bravado. Mickey Callaway played the role of Terry Collins, except without the regret. And Anthony Swarzak made up for the previous night, capping of brilliant evening of Mets pitching.
For one night, the bullpen wasn’t a cause for concern. It actually provided relief, sealing a desperately needed win.
Gsellman did the heavy lifting, working two scoreless innings hours after Callaway said he was going to limit the righty to just one inning, and Swarzak recorded his first save as a Met in a 2-0 victory that denied the Yankees a Subway Series sweep.
