New York Mets weekend recap

Over the weekend the Mets faced the Miami Marlins, beating them two games to one in the series. With the series victory, the Mets secured a winning record (6-4) over the past ten games. Below are the highlights from a wild weekend in case you missed it.


Curtis Granderson got his second walk off RBI of the season on Friday night against Marlins' closer Steve Cishek. It's been a tough start for Curtis, but his walk-off was huge in a game the Mets trailed 3-2 in the ninth.

Dillon Gee tossed eight shut out innings in the rubber game against the Marlins on Sunday afternoon. Dillon threw a season high 110 pitches in Sunday's contest, making this the most pitches he's thrown since his last DL sting a few years back.

Zack Wheeler struck out 10 batters before being pulled after the 6th inning on Friday. Jennry Mejia was the opposite, losing a 5-0 lead on Saturday.

Bobby Abreu and Chris Young each hit a home run at Citi Field. Abreu's home run was his first in a Mets uniform. Chris Young's was his second.

Kyle Farnsworth threw his worst pitch of his season on Saturday night, resulting in a 10th inning go ahead home run by Marlins' catcher Jarred Saltalamacchia.

Carlos Torres continued his dominate relief pitching on Sunday as he tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

On another note, the Mets banned New York Post beat writer Mike Puma for his comments he made in an article about Bartolo Colon's weight. The Mets would not allow their players to talk to reporters until Puma was removed from the locker room.
