The 2017 season has not been a good year for the Mets in any way shape or form.

The Mets took the rubber game against the Braves on Sunday, emerging with a 5-1 win. They are now 9-6 against Atlanta this season. Robert Gsellman gave the Mets their second straight strong start, as he hurled seven innings and allowed just one run. Gsellman retired 10 in a row before back-to-back errors in the [...]
