Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports After a dreadful start to the season, the Mets and their offense have come alive. On a cloudy spring day at Citi Field, the Mets defeated the Pirates for their first sweep of the season. Luis Severino was on the mound and continued his strong start to the season, having his best performance yet as a Met. Going six innings for the first time in his short Mets’ career, Severino allowed just one unearned run, while striking out four batters. The one run Severino surrendered came in the third inning, where Henry Davis reached base on catchers interference. After allowi ..read more

They’d won back-to-back games, three straight series, and had been 8-3 since their disastrous five game losing streak to start the season. They could clinch a series win with this game, but their hopes rode on the back of José Quintana, who has looked somewhat shaky to start the year. They were also facing a good young pitcher in Jared Jones. Still, they showed an ability to fight to the last out this season, and the offense has shown some ..read more

This time, the zeroes ceased in the sixth inning, with the Pirates breaking through for three runs in the top of the frame. Ke’Bryan Hayes led off with a walk, advanced to second on a force ..read more
