With the possibility to achieve the elusive ‘goose egg sweep,’ the Mets entered this afternoon’s game against the Nationals bolstered by excellent starting pitching and some timely hitting from their club so far this weekend.
Then the game started. Hold onto your butts.
The Mets continued their string of spectacular starting pitching today with a gem from Steven Matz. It didn’t necessarily start off in glorious fashion, but Matz was able to work around a lead off single by Adam Eaton and Ryan Zimmermann walk in the first inning without allowing a National to score.
