Mets Bash Rockies, Jump Up in Wild Card Standings

 METS 7 - ROCKIES 6 

The New York Mets continue to ride a wave of good vibes and solid baseball, following a 7-6 win over the Rockies at Citi Field on Friday night. 

While it wasn't easy, because once again the bullpen almost blew it for the Amazin's late, as Jake Diekman and newly acquired Phil Maton couldn't make a 7-2 lead stand-up. The Mets (48-45) are now three games over .500 and find themselves as the fifth seed in the NL Wild Card Race!

What a turnaround for this franchise. Just a month ago when the Mets were off to London they were 11-games under .500 and needed to rally to even have a shot. They have done more than just rally. They have completely changed the narrative of the season. 

From Grimace Power to Jose Iglesias' hit single "OMG," a hot dog eating dog (don't ask), and now incredible, cinematic light shows at Citi Field, the vibe around this ball club has completely changed. And it's so much fun to watch. 

 


The Mets trailed 2-0 in the early going on Friday, then proceeded to bash three straight homers as Mark Vientos, Iglesias and Harrison Bader all went yard. 

Just like that the Mets were up 3-2. And they weren't done just yet. Bader and Iglesias would both homer again as the Mets built a 7-2 lead, and the party was on all night. 

Keep the good vibes going Mets!!
