Finally kicking the teeth in on bad teams baby Mets rise again to take first place - New York Mets fans pumped as team ends three-game losing streak with a doubleheader sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates

By Jared Bloom Modified 08 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Washington Nationals v New York Mets The New York Mets got back on track today with a dominating doubleheader sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Mets, coming off of three straight losses, needed these two games today. The Mets dropped two games against the Washington Nationals and one game against the Pirates coming into today. To make up for their game that got canceled on September 5th, Chris Bassitt secured game one for the Mets. The righty had ten strikeouts in seven innings pitched. Eduardo Escobar and Tyler Naquin both hit home runs in the 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh. In game two of the doubleheader, the Mets handed Jacob deGrom the ball. Much like in the earlier game, the Mets' pitching dominated Pittsburgh. deGrom went seven strong innings, striking out eight along the way. deGrom and the bullpen didn't allow a single run. In a game with a lot of hits but no home runs, the Mets blanked the Pirates 10-0 to pick up the doubleheader sweep.

They sit half a game ahead of the Braves in the division. With such a tight race, Mets fans couldn't be happier with their wins today.

They needed to do it to reassure their fans and boost their confidence. They know they are a better team than the Pirates and the Nationals and they can't afford to lose games they should win. Barry Grodenchik@BarryGrodenchik@Mets @DKSportsbook Huge sweep. Huge day. The O erupted and the pitching was superb with excellent D. We did it all and reclaimed first place.

The dominant starts of Bassitt and deGrom were the story of the day. They will continue to need big performances out of these guys if they want to keep the lead in the division. The New York Mets have placed their ace, Max Scherzer, on a 15-day IL with left-side irritation. The starter is expected to miss two starts. FOX Sports: MLB@MLBONFOXThe Mets placed Max Scherzer on the IL for oblique irritation, retroactive to Sept. 4.

"This is days, not weeks," Scherzer said of the decision, predicting a return as soon as he is eligible.38937The Mets placed Max Scherzer on the IL for oblique irritation, retroactive to Sept. 4."This is days, not weeks," Scherzer said of the decision, predicting a return as soon as he is eligible. https://t.co/qfsDzeXLMd "This is days, not weeks" - Max Scherzer

The New York Mets will look to their dominant pitching to keep them ahead of the Braves in the division

As the Mets take on the Marlins, Cubs, and Pirates for their next three series, they should be okay without their ace. deGrom, Bassitt, and Taijuan Walker will look to step up during those series. deGrom has been nearly unhittable since coming off of the IL in August.

With a relatively easy schedule to close out September, it will be important to separate themselves from the Braves. If the division is still close heading into October, it will be decided by the Mets-Braves series at the end of the season.
