First-place Mets are getting healthier and hotter at the right time

Other teams may have more games played, but for the New York Mets, they just reached the one-third mark of their season, which is 54 contests, last night in Baltimore, and they did it with a resounding 14-1 victory over the Orioles.

They did it behind another formidable outing by starter Taijuan Walker, who lowered his ERA all the way down to 2.07, and two homers by Kevin Pillar and another one from surprising outfielder Billy McKinney.

The Mets are 30-24, firmly entrenched in first place of the NL East division. They have been the leaders for 32 straight days, which considering the fact that they recently had up to 17 players on the injured list, is nothing short of impressive.
