Hey, the Mets pitchers only allowed two runs. That's a good thing after last night, right? Oh wait, Brandon Morrow was good Brandon Morrow? Damn.

As Justin Turner approached the batter's box Friday night at Rogers Centre, Ricky Romero kept telling himself not to look at his face.

This season, the best hitter in baseball has been David Wright of the New York Mets , and he is currently hitting over .400 in what is a 2008 Chipper Jones type season for him.

Aroldis Chapman left the game with his 0.00 ERA intact. Yet the rocket-armed reliever and his Cincinnati bullpen pals were far from perfect.

Battling flu-like symptoms and a tough Reds bullpen, David Wright stepped up to the plate in the eighth inning of Thursday's game with his team locked in a 4-4 tie.

Flushing, NY - David Wright crushed a go-ahead RBI double in the bottom of the eighth, lifting the Mets to a 9-4 victory over the Reds to salvage a split of a two-game series at Citi Field on Thursday.

Though struggling Ike Davis would be a logical candidate for demotion to the minors, manager Terry Collins told The Post before last night's 6-3 loss to the Reds it's "doubtful" the Mets would go that route.

Reds third baseman Todd Frazier, who homered in both the seventh and eighth innings, throws out the Mets' Justin Turner for the first out of the ninth inning.

For the second time in three games, the Mets bullpen blew a late two run lead to the Marlins, enabling Miami to take the series two games to one.

The Mets' everyday shortstop returned to the lineup on Friday. No, not Ruben Tejada -- he remains sidelined with a strained right quad.

When the Mets lost Ruben Tejada to a quadriceps strain earlier this week they had to turn to Justin Turner and Jordany Valdespin at shortstop because utility man Ronny Cedeno was on the disabled list with an intercostal strain of his own.
