But the moment I got going for walks a minor more and went to the outfield it acquired a tiny superior, but now today it feels a good deal much better.”
Khalil Lee was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to give the Mets a further posture player. The Mets usually would have only had a backup catcher out there.
