An Orange and Black DH sweep
Man, that would have been pretty awful had the Mets swept. Instead, Madison Bumgarner held the Mets to 3 hits and a run in 7 innings in the nightcap as the Giants went 2 games over .500 for the first time this season.
The Mets announcers managed to stay professional during the later innings of today's second game, noting that doubleheaders used to take place all the time. The 1962 Mets, they pointed out, were swept an astounding SEVENTEEN times during that season on their way to a 40-120 record.
Scheduled doubleheaders were still prevalent during the 1970s but began to disappear in the 1980s. Now, they're the product of rainouts.
