Mets 5 Nationals 1

Gee, Dillon has the Nats’ number.

Matt Harvey continues to be a disappointment.

If you have a layover in Denver when you’re on your way from Chicago to New York, you might want to fire your travel agent.

Mets 3 Rockies 2

They win yesterday, they win today … if they win tomorrow, now that’s called a “winning streak.”

After splitting a two-game series with the Chicago White Sox, the Mets will play a makeup game in Denver today against the Rockies. This is a makegood for one of the games that was snowed out back in April. Back then, the temperature was in the 20s. Today, it’s expected to reach the mid-90s. So, at least, another snowstorm looks unlikely.

However, the Mets will have to cool off Rox outfielder Michael Cuddyer, who’s riding a 23-game hitting streak.

Former Rockie Eric Young, Jr. returns to Colorado for the first time since being waived by his old club. He’s been a revalation since joining the Mets in a trade that sent RHP Collin McHugh to Colorado. In his first couple of weeks, he’s been the leadoff spark the Mets have missed at the top of the order since Jose Reyes departed.

Zack Wheeler had trouble putting ChiSox hitters away on Tuesday, and was apparently tipping his pitches, as pointed out by Ron Darling, among others.

Last night, Shaun Marcum picked up his first win of the season, tossing 8 scoreless innings (a feat he also accomplished in relief during the infamous 20-inning game with the Marlins earlier this year).

Pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero will appear in the MLB futures game at Citi Field over the All-Star break. Incidentally, Mookie Wilson will manage team USA, and Edgardo Alfonzo will manage the World team.

Finally, Shaun Marcum wins his first game as a Met. Somewhere, a groan emitted from Anthony Young.

White Sox 5 Mets 4

Another barn burner, but this time, the Mets find themselves on the wrong end.

Mets 8 Phillies 0

Finally, Matt Harvey gets run support.
