There’s nothing like winning a series in the Bronx to boost morale.

Losing three-of-four in Atlanta – by a combined 35-13 score – was less than ideal, but taking two-of-three from the flailing Yankees made the Braves series seem like a distant memory.

As far as position players go, the offense is almost completely whole at this point and seems like it may finally be coming around. In their two wins over the Yankees, the Mets combined to score 18 runs.

Having Brandon Nimmo back in the leadoff spot certainly helps those numbers, but whether or not the Mets can score runs consistently outside of the Little League stadium across town remains to be seen.

What Went Right: Late-inning Rallies

The Mets came from behind in two of their three wins last week. James McCann’s three-run homer in the seventh inning sparked Tuesday’s win.

After being down one, they scored six runs in the seventh and final inning in Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader, started by Pete Alonso’s game-tying homer off Aroldis Chapman.

What Went Wrong: All-Star Snubs

It’s easy to argue that the Mets don’t have any position players who should qualify for the Midsummer Classic, but with teams announced over the weekend, it’s wild they weren’t able to get more than one player on the roster.

Jacob deGrom was obviously a lock, but guys like Marcus Stroman, Taijuan Walker, and Edwin Diaz have also pitched more than well enough to have garnered an invite.

The biggest surprise is probably Walker, who is 7-3 with a 2.44 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. The big righty has simply been one of the best starters in the league to this point and deserved to make his first appearance in the game.

Stock Up: Dom Smith

I’m sure Smith has no issues with the dimensions in right field at Yankee Stadium. His short-porch special off Gerrit Cole was indicative of that. But even outside of the Bronx, Smith is thriving. He’s hitting .327 over his last 15 games and slashing .417/.440/.875 in his last seven with three homers.

Stock Down: Michael Conforto

Since returning from a long stint on the IL on June 23, Conforto is just 4-for-34. It’s normal to take a little time to get back into the swing of things, but the right fielder is hitting just .204 on the year with two home runs. It’s a walk year for the former first-round pick and he certainly needs to make a better case in the second half of the season if he wants a big contract – whether that’s with the Mets or otherwise.

Injury Report

When J.D. Davis presumably returns later this week, the Met offense will be as healthy from top-to-bottom as it has all year.

On the other hand, David Peterson hit the IL with an oblique strain and is week-to-week. He is in serious danger of missing an extended amount of time.

Carlos Carrasco threw a full bullpen session over the weekend and could return sometime in July, but right now the Mets legitimately have four starters in their rotation – one of which is rookie Tylor Megill, who has made just two career starts.

Next Up

Thanks to a four-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, the Nationals weren’t able to make up any more ground on the Mets in the division. Their next seven games come on the road against the Padres and Giants leading into the break, so that’s positive news for the Mets.

Conversely, New York will play out the first half at home against the Brewers and Pirates. Both the offense and pitching staff will have its work cut out for it against the juggernaut that is Milwaukee, but four games against lowly Pittsburgh should send the Mets into the break flying high.
