Stroman gave up two walks and had three strikeouts. He was in command all afternoon with his fastball, slider and change-up. He picked up his fourth win and lowered his ERA to 2.47. RHP Edwin Diaz closed it out with a scoreless top of the seventh inning and picked up his ninth save. The Mets next game against the Rockies is a 1/2 hour after the first game.
