Worth noting

• With the Mets playing on back-to-back days in Atlanta and Anaheim, there was obviously little uninterrupted rest for the visitors. Manager Terry Collins said the team arrived at its hotel at 3 a.m. PT and got its bags at 3:30. He said he woke up at 8 a.m. "and was here by noon."

The Mets have been hit hard by the flu bug, too, but Collins said when he first checked the training room in Anaheim, it was empty -- which he took as a good sign.
