What can you say? The Mets have been fortunate to combine the best pitching they’ve gotten all year with a stretch of the schedule featuring one sloppy, less-fortunate club after another, and like good teams do, the Mets are making hay.
Now before we get too overconfident let’s take care of the Marlins. New arrival Donnie Hart, a lefty reliever waiver-claimed from Milwaukee, made his debut yesterday in 68, a number we most recently saw on Wilmer Font, who’s now pitching in Toronto.
Aaaaaaaaand, goodbye Donnie, sent down to make room for Brad Brach. Brach has worn 58, 35, 46 and 29 in his career, the latter of which is open unless Devon Mesoraco makes a sudden reappearance.
