Two days ago, the Mets had lost their fifth straight game against the Braves. It also marked their tenth loss in the past eleven games, and the team found themselves a game and a half behind the Phillies in the NL East. It seemed like the sky was falling with no end to the struggles in sight. Now, two days later, things are looking a little bit different. The team’s recent ailments are certainly still a cause for concern—and it’s suddenly looking like the team will need to continue piecing their pitching staff together—but following a much-needed win last night, the Mets followed with a second-straight victory against Atlanta to split the series and put them back in front in the NL East.
