The Mets and Pirates play a five inning game as rain washes out the rest, with New York winning 5-1. There’s a silly stat going around about the Mets not winning a road series in their own league, even though they swept two AL teams on the road! Some people are really stretching to make the Mets seem like a bad team. All you have to do is look at their record! The win tonight means they won this weekend series against the Pirates, so that stat in any form no longer applies.
Of course, now the stat will be noted with either “Other than that series against the PIRATES” or “Except for a series that included a rain-shortened game, taking away the chance for the Pirates to come back.”
