How shocking is it that the Mets have lost two straight
games to the Astros? Even these statues palling around with the Gnome of Defeat
look stunned.
The Astros, who are supposed to stink up the National League
before they defect to the American League, piled up five runs on Jonathon Niese
and chased him after three innings. Houston won 6-3.
The Mets bullpen, was actually a little better than usual,
allowing one run over the final six innings.
David Wright was the only Mets hitter to get more than a hit
– he’s batting .395 – though Justin Turner went 1 for 3 with a couple runs scored
and a stolen base.
Maybe the Mets can blame the “flu-like symptoms” that seem
to be sweeping through the clubhouse for the malaise, but their hopes of
avoiding betting swept out of Minute Maid Park are in the hands of Chris
Schwinden and his 11.25 ERA.
