If you were told before the game that Jacob deGrom would fan 10 in six innings, that Edwin Diaz would strike out the side in the ninth and that in the middle Seth Lugo and Adam Ottavino pitched, you’d probably say that added up to a Mets win. Instead, they were held to four hits [...]
Jeff McNeil is having a tremendous year, both at the plate and in the field. He’s batting .322/.371/.452, with the BA being third in the League and the OBP is fourth. He has smacked 36 doubles, tying him for sixth in the NL. Turning to defense, mostly playing second base, he has accumulated a DRS [...]
The Mets continued a bad trend, dropping the first game of a series versus a sub-.500 team, this time a 5-2 loss to the Cubs. Chris Bassitt didn’t have it tonight, as he put the Mets in a five-run hole before being yanked in the fourth inning. The Mets had some opportunities but went 1-9 [...]

Combined with a loss by the Braves against the Mariners, the Mets re-took the top spot in the N.L. East. The Marlins scored first but the Mets rallied [...]
