The New York Mets are off to a hot start this MLB season, sitting atop the National League East with a 7-4 record, good for the 5th best, winning percentage league wide. They just swept the San Francisco Giants in three straight games, piling on 18 runs while giving up only 5. The Giants though, are in rough shape at 4-0, dead last and run score per game at just 3. It's a tough beginning for their first-year manager, Tony Vitelo, who couldn't stop the Mets after snagging that opening win. Keith Hernandez, the Mets legend and broadcaster, jumped back in the booth Tuesday after a back injury and didn't hold back on the Giants. He said he tried watching their series, but turned it off when the Mets let 6-0 because their defense was that bad. Meanwhile, the Mets kept rolling, edging the errors on the Diamondbacks 4-3 in 10-1-2 Tha Night. They gear up for the next one Wednesday at 4-10 Eastern.
