New York Mets – The Mets went to Seth Lugo with a one-run lead in the 8th yesterday and would’ve kept him in if they hadn’t extended their lead to four; instead, he was available today to get his 3rd save of the season, while Edwin Diaz pitched the 8th. Diaz has looked a lot better as of late, and might be the go-to guy for saves when Lugo is unavailable (which is generally more often than most relievers). But he has still dropped to second place in this bullpen and won’t get the call unless Lugo can’t go.
Updated hierarchy: Lugo | Diaz | Betances.
