You may have noticed I missed the 2nd and 3rd and I sincerely apologize for that. I was celebrating my 22nd birthday! I am back now, however, and ready to recap all that happened yesterday in the NL East. The Nats, Marlins and Braves were off Sunday leaving only the Mets and Phillies with games.
St. Louis Cardinals : 5
@
New York Mets : 4
The Mets took three out of four from the defending world champion Cardinals. This series really highlighted just how good the Mets starting pitching staff is. Dillon Gee went 7 innings allowing just 2 ER. The Mets bullpen did surrender two more runs in the 8th and that turned out to be the difference in the game. Despite the loss yesterday the Mets are still a hot team as they head to the nations capitol to take on the Division leading Nationals.
Las Angeles Dodgers : 4
@
Philadelphia Phillies : 3
The Phillies are on a three game losing streak after dropping the first game against the Dodgers. So far the LA Dogers are the best team in baseball, so the Phillies should have their work cut out for them in the rest of this four game series. This Phillies tied the game in the third inning yesterday and nearly held on, but Jonathan Papelbon surrendered the go-ahead run in the ninth and that made all the difference.
UPDATED STANDINGS
Nationals : 30-22
Marlins : 31 – 23
Mets : 31 – 24
Braves : 29 – 25
Phillies : 28 – 28
