Lively (3-5) held the Mets to a single run on four hits and three walks over seven innings en route to the win Tuesday. He struck out four.
The rookie even supported his own cause with a 2-for-4 effort at the plate that included a two-run single and a two-run homer. Lively's been a bit of a hit-or-miss fantasy play, but the hits have been more common since his return from Triple-A, as he's now tossed three quality starts in four outings. However, he'll draw a tough matchup on the road against the Nationals on Sunday.
