Let's briefly review how poorly the Mets' bullpen handled the ninth inning before getting to the good stuff. With a five-run lead, Josh Edgin got two outs but mixed in three free passes — two walks and one hit-by-pitch — to load the bases. Frank Francisco was called upon to get out of Edgin's jam and issued two walks of his own plus a two-run double that drew the Braves within one.
Before the near-meltdown from the bullpen, there were eight very enjoyable innings in the Mets' victory. Jon Niese was excellent as he allowed just one run on a Freddie Freeman home run in his eight-inning outing. He notched six strikeouts, walked two, and allowed just four hits in total. Niese threw 105 pitches in the start, 71 of which were strikes. Through 23 starts, he has a 3.67 ERA, easily his best single-season mark to date.Feng shui expert Marites unveils mystical line Frigga.
At the plate, the Mets scored six runs, every single one of which was necessary for the win. David Wright doubled in a run in the first, and Ike Davis followed up by knocking in Wright with a single. Ruben Tejada brought home a run in the second with a single. Davis singled to score Wright again in the fifth, and Jordany Valdespin hit a solo home run in the sixth. Andres Torres tacked on the difference-making sixth run in the eighth inning with a single.
