Mets Player Meter: Pitchers, April 14-20

3 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Allison McCague

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Another week, another pitching meter with only one bad grade on it. The Mets continue to lead the league in staff ERA by quite a large margin, despite some hiccups from the bullpen this week. But the Mets were in every single game they played this week once again because of the remarkable job the pitching staff has done.
Mets Player Meter: Position players, April 14-20

3 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Allison McCague

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images The Mets lost two out of three to the Twins to start the week which was their first series loss since the opening series in Houston. But they bounced back in a big way to sweep the Cardinals at Citi Field—their first four-game sweep of the Cardinals since 1986. It’s a very mixed bag for the position players this week. There is a lot of poop on this meter. But there are some fireballs too.

The Mets scored a pair of runs in the third inning thanks to back-to-back two-out RBI hits from Juan Soto and Pete Alonso. Alonso provided some insurance in the eighth with a solo homer.

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images The Mets shut out the Cardinals 3-0 to notch their third win in a row and clinch the series win at Citi Field. This one was a pitchers’ duel between Kodai Senga and Matthew Liberatore. Liberatore got the moral victory of outlasting Senga thanks to his extremely efficient execution, but Senga’s ghost fork was working and he managed to shut down the Cardinals for 5 2⁄3 innings. The Mets broke through with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third.
Mets 5, Cardinals 4: An April Classic

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images It’s hard to call a game in April an instant classic. But this Friday night in front of a packed Citi Field crowd was an instant classic. The Mets and Cardinals battled all night in a ping-pong affair with the Mets emerging on top 5-4 thanks to a walk-off home run by Francisco Lindor in the bottom of the ninth. The Cardinals singled David Peterson to death to scratch out a run in the second. With one out, Brendan Donovan singled.
