Miller’s winless streak reaches 23 games; Mets shut out Braves 4-0

Entering Wednesday night’s game app at Nationals Park, deGrom has oblique 170 innings around right now, also the Allis thatStar game app, and most definitely has a six.75 Moment in her past 3 (three) starts off. Their setup man got tagged again.

Jonathon Niese got back on track and so did the New York Mets.

“All of a sudden, we’ve hit a wall”, he said.

David Wright homered as the Mets lost for the fifth time in seven games. The Mets had a 9.5 game lead in the NL East a week ago, but the Washington Nationals have slimmed their deficit in the division to 6 games with less than two weeks left, coming off a sweep of the Miami Marlins. “We needed this one bad”, Collins said. Atlanta is last in the majors, by far, with 90 home runs.

His winless streak already was the longest for any big league pitcher in a season he was an All-Star.

As insurance, Adonis Garcia doubled home two more runs in the ninth against whipping boy Tyler Clippard. “I got some groundballs with the curveball, too”, Niese said.

“The other day we were talking about some of the situations that perhaps may happen down the road”, Collins said, recalling a conversation he had with Niese.

Despite the loss, Collins hadn’t lost his sense of humor.

LF Nick Swisher returned to the lineup Monday and went 0-for-4 in the Braves’ 4-0 loss to the Mets. Edwin Jackson, Atlanta’s fourth pitcher of the inning, gave up a sacrifice fly to pinch-hitter Michael Cuddyer and got Wilmer Flores on a grounder to protect the lead. Miller has seen his ERA climb from 1.33 to 3.00.

Olivera’s three-run homer gave the Braves a 4-1 lead and Wisler did the rest.

Matt Wisler wised up in a hurry.

Wisler (6-8) struck out a career-high eight and left after a leadoff walk in the eighth. In his last 4 games, the Mets southpaw has a 7.97 ERA. “I think my stuff kind of matches up with their weaknesses”.

“He’s done a good job, ” Terry Collins said before the game.

The Mets had intentionally walked Nick Markakis with two outs, with a runner on second base and the score tied 1-1 ahead of Olivera’s three-run shot – a decision manager Terry Collins labeled a no-brainer. The Mets have scored eight runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their last seven games. They have the second-worst record in the majors after trailing the Mets by only 1 1/2 games a few days before the All-Star break. NOTES: Mets INF Juan Uribe (chest contusion), who was injured diving for a ball on Sunday, underwent an MRI that showed no serious damage. D’Arnaud did not receive an RBI. But he was feeling better and should be ready to play Tuesday, Gonzalez said…. “Do the right thing for T.C.”, Gonzalez said.

Niese threw only 88 pitches, but the regular late-inning relievers were fresh because they hadn’t pitched in the previous two games.
