Well, the Mets seem to have shaken off the horrible first three weeks in June wherein they managed a 4-14 record over the first 21 days of the month.
In the nine days closing out the month they have racked up an 8-1 record having swept the Oakland As for 3, taken 2 of 3 from the Cardinals and now three of three from the Phillies with another in that series to be played tomorrow.
It was a combination of great starting pitching and some power at the plate that fueled the turnaround.
The Phillies, who had crept up on the Mets during their slump, have been sent back to third place and six games back in the last two days. Depending upon the outcome of tonight's Atlanta-Florida game, the Mets will lead the Braves by either four or five games.
Carlos Beltran has certainly enjoyed the last two days in Philly. He was 3-4 today with two homers after hitting two in last nights night cap of the day-night doubleheader. As a team, the Mets have hit 9 home runs and scored 19 times in the three games at CITI Park this weekend.
