Meet the Mets
The Mets avoided the sweep and put up nine runs in the series finale against the Reds. Bo Bichette and Juan Soto again had multiple hits to lead the offense, and Nolan McLean was stellar on the mound allowing just one unearned run. They now head to Philadelphia to take on their rivals for the first time this season.

Bo Bichette has gotten hot in June and looks more like the player the Mets thought they were getting when
they signed him.
With Nolan McLean’s early success, it’s easy to forget he is still a rookie and that he still has some things to learn at the major league level.
Just when the Mets look like they have things figured out, they fall apart again, and they need to stop with the back and forth if they want to save their season.
