After three straight games in which the Mets’ bullpen was brutally overworked, the team finally got a quality start from its starting pitcher while also mashing a few home runs, leading to a 7-0 victory to take the series from the Cincinnati Reds.
Marcus Stroman has struggled over his past few starts, but he looked as good as he’s looked in any game this season today. He allowed just three baserunners all day—a hit-by-pitch on his first pitch of the day, a leadoff single in the third, and a two-out walk in the seventh.
