Every year there are teams that get out to a surprisingly great start in the month of April, only to crash back down to Earth in May. The New York Mets looked like the perfect candidate for that, but they have shown that they are a resilient bunch.
The Mets opened this month by losing two out of three games to the Washington Nationals, who have been hot since a terrible start. That could have been the Mets cue to return to mediocrity. But instead they swept a two-game series with the Baltimore Orioles. After dropping the first game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the bottom could have fallen out of the Mets, but they went on to win the series, taking the final two games.
The season is long and has its ebb and flow. The Mets are not as hot as they were in April, but they are still winning ball games.
