The drama from the Mets losing streak was a bit over the top. The Mets basically was a beneficiary of events that made things feel better than they were. "We are in first place, all is okay." Well, they dropped out. And, the Phils and Braves don't quite seem like pathetic second stringers. Release 'they suck!' Mets Twitter.
The Nats were good for what ailed them, even with rain delaying things (suspended game and a double header, all fit in during the original three days scheduled), with a 8-7 win and an Alonso homer making up for a three run lead blown in the 9th. The Braves blew a 9th inning lead versus the Nats recently and could not come back. The Mets even showed a new guy had some value, giving a good spot four plus innings.
The Braves went two of three versus the Reds while the Phils went one of three versus the Dodgers. Really, each team did what they had to do, given the level of opposition. Result? Mets still not in first place, but just barely. They have Dodgers/Giants games, but showed they still have what it takes to make up some ground versus the Marlins/Nats later.
