    Steven Matz and Yoenis Cespedes returned on the same day to give the New York Mets a big boost.

    The Mets have a long way to climb up in the standings. They're 10 1/2 games out of the NL East lead and six games under .500, but with 102 games remaining on the schedule, there's plenty of time to turn the season around.

    "We have a lot left," manager Terry Collins said. "Now we have to make sure we work very, very hard to make sure Steven Matz goes out there every five or six days and Yoenis Cespedes finishes the season healthy."

    Matz pitched seven impressive innings in his season debut, Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer and New York beat the Braves 8-1 Saturday night to sweep a doubleheader.
