Mets vs. Royals Game 69 Recap

The New York Mets defeated the Kansas City Royals 2-1 tonight to snap their 3 game losing streak and improve their record to 37-32. Mets starter RHP Bartolo Colon came out after facing only one batter in the first inning after being hit on the right thumb. RHP Hansel Robles came in after Colon was taken and pitched 3 2/3 outstanding innings. He allowed just one run on 5 hits and one walk. He had 6 strikeouts. He picked up his first win of the season. RHP Erik Goedeel came in next and pitched 2 scoreless innings. LHP Jerry Blevins had a scoreless 7th inning. RHP Addison Reed pitched a scoreless 8th inning. RHP Jeurys Familia pitched a scoreless ninth inning and picked up his 23th save of the season. The offense produced two solo homers by CF Yoenis Cespedes and SS Asdrubal Cabrera which was enough run support for the bullpen. This was a huge win for the Mets since they had to go to the pen much earlier than expected. Hopefully  RHP Noah Syndergarrd can provide them some length tomorrow and go deep in the game in order to give the relievers some rest.
