NY Post: Mets profit from a worrying reminder about innings limits. "With Rockies phenom Jon Gray cruising through six innings in his second major league start, having allowed just a Travis d’Arnaud home run, Colorado manager Walt Weiss pulled the impressive right-hander, who was on a strict innings limit, despite just 75 pitches." 

ESPN: "The Mets loaded the bases against Justin Miller (L,1-1) in the seventh after Gray, the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2013, was pulled...Miller gave up a single to d'Arnaud, walked Michael Conforto and then Ruben Tejada as well with two outs. Boone Logan entered and hit Curtis Granderson with a full-count pitch to tie it. Murphy then grounded a single past diving shortstop Jose Reyes, the former Mets star recently acquired in the trade that sent Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto, for a 4-2 lead."

Nationals Beat the Dodgers to keep pace with the 1st place Mets, 1.5 games back.
