Angel Pagan made it rain
This was a hard game to keep track of, since it was delayed at the start due to rain, and had a delay right after the 4th, so thankfully it was just one of those nice, easy wins that you can just kind of keep on in the background without a lot of tension.
Because of the delay, and my ability to only watch games on the computer, I missed the Mets jumping right out to the 1-0 lead in the first thanks to the Reyes double and Heyward error, but I did see Pagan's towering home run just inside the right field foul pole to give them the 3-0 lead that they carried into the delay.
The delay was a shame, since Dillon Gee looked like he had some of his best stuff of the season, and it cost him his opportunity to go to 8-0, but he has certainly been one of the biggest stories for the Mets this season. They've won all 10 of his starts and now there's some serious All-Star talk, which is always nice.
Also encouraging was the bullpen effort put forth by Carrasco, Parnell, and Rodriguez, who combined for five innings of one-hit ball. The pen still has a long way to go, but this was a nice first step.
Also, Lucas Duda doesn't think the Atlanta organist is as clever as he thinks he is.
