Mets Win 8th Straight Despite Mounting Injuries

Matt Harvey and the New York Mets found a way to win again, their eighth straight, but Sunday's 7-6 win over the Miami Marlins to complete a four-game sweep came at a cost.

With David Wright already on the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring issue, Terry Collins watched as reliever Jerry Blevins took a come-backer off his arm and fractured his forearm. Then, a half inning later, catcher Travis d' Arnaud was hit in the hand by a fastball resulting in a fractured hand.

The time expected to be missed by both is unclear, but it is likely in the range of six weeks.

Despite the injury bug, the Mets are off to a red hot April at 10-3, including an eight game win streak - their longest in nearly five years - and a 7-0 start at Citi Field.

New York is off Monday with the Braves due in town to begin a three-game series on Tuesday night. The Mets dropped two of three in Atlanta in the season's opening but hold a 1.5 games lead over the Braves atop the NL East standings.
