This week for the Mets’ pitching staff can be summed up very simply: The rotation had a good week—one could even say a great week—and the bullpen did...not.
Let’s start with how the week started: another fantastic outing by José Quintana. Quintana held the Nationals to just one run on four hits through seven strong innings of work, striking out four batters and walking one. Luckily, the Mets gave Quintana a boatload of run support and he cruised his way to his second win of the season.
