Carlos Carrasco gave his team 7 ²/₃ shutout innings in a 4-0 victory over the Marlins on Saturday night at loanDepot park.
Carlos Carrasco isn’t going to win any contests blowing away hitters, but the right-hander’s offspeed pitches and command — and most importantly, his health — have converged this season to give the Mets an invaluable rotation piece.
The Mets won their fifth straight and reached the 100-game mark with the franchise’s most victories since 1986. After scuffling at the plate for seven innings, the Mets gave Carrasco breathing room in the eighth when Francisco Lindor and J.D. Davis each blasted a solo homer to give the Mets a 4-0 lead. Davis’ homer, in a pinch-hitting appearance, came as the Mets are searching on the trade market for a right-handed bat to solidify the DH spot.
