Wilmer Flores home run tied the game at 2 in the 7th and a Lucas Duda single sored the go-ahead run in the 8th.  Dillon Gee went 7 innings allowing 2 runs and Buddy Carlyle (W,1-0) won his only decision for the 2015 Mets.

Mike Puma NY Post: Mets officially the best team in baseballas win streak hits 10. “The Mets (12-3) have the best record in the major leagues and the 10-game winning streak is their longest since July 2008. On Thursday they will attempt to complete a 10-0 homestand and win an 11th straight game for the first time since 1990. The key at-bat in the eighth was Juan Lagares’ single through the right side on a hit-and-run that gave the Mets runners on the corners with nobody out. Curtis Granderson’s pinch-hit walk had started the rally. Duda followed Lagares’ hit with the go-ahead single. Wilmer Flores blasted a solo homer in the seventh as part of his 2-for-4 night with two RBIs. Lagares also made a circus catch, with his back to the infield, in the seventh to help keep the Mets within a run.”




The win put the Mets up 3.5 games ahead of the Braves.

I can't help but notice the small amount of attendance at these games

Soto could have helped here but he wasn't around then, was he?
