Mets won that last one with the usual formula: Great starting pitching and improved bullpen performance but virtually needing a shutout to win because only 5 hits is usually not enough.
Also according to formula: Cabrera coming out of the game with a hammy; hopefully he's not headed to the DL because he's one of the few guys (three total?) who are actually hitting somewhat.
One of which is not Cespedes, who is going backwards in his injury recovery. He's like your version of our Jacoby Ellsbury only in your case, his absence from the lineup is devastating.
Good move to cut Gonzalez to see if Dominic Smith can do anything. Now is his chance. Paper says that he says that he's down from 250lbs to 215lbs! That helps, I hope.
