The Good: Mets win their 8th game in a row, all against the NL East

The Bad: Today was very costly. Jerry Blevins fractured his forearm in the top of the 7th inning. He was their only true lefty specialist and he had been a perfect 15 for 15 retiring lefty batters this year. Then in the bottom of the 7th Travis d'Arnaud fractured his right hand getting hit by a pitch. He's been their best offensive player this week and his defense has been world's better than last year.

A mediocre team would let these type of injuries weigh them down, so hopefully that doesn't happen here. I'm more concerned about the Blevins injury since the Mets will be calling up top prospect Kevin Plawecki to fill in at catcher.
