Game #53: Marlins 8, Mets 1

Remember when the Mets swept the Yankees earlier this week? Yeah, those were good times.

Collin McHugh was shelled in his spot start and the Mets couldn't get the motor running in the Marlins' waters, falling 8-1 to lose another Miami series.

The Bad Stuff:

• Collin McHugh's first start of the season went like just about every other appearance he's made: four runs and six hits in four innings.
• Jose Fernandez, meanwhile, kept New York at bay with seven scoreless, three-hit innings, including eight strikeouts.
• David Wright went 0-4 again, dropping his average to .277.
• Ike Davis also had an 0-for, going 0-3.

The Good Stuff:

• Omar Quintanilla had two hits
• Justin Turner kept the Mets from being shut out with an RBI double in the 8th.

Final Analysis:
What a way to celebrate the anniversary of No-Han...

By the way, happy anniversary, Johan Santana!

That is all. Tomorrow will be better. Probably.
