Blevins relieved to remain with club

SAN FRANCISCO — Jerry Blevins is just fine with the fact he remained Mets property into September.

The lefty reliever was among the possibilities to be traded heading into the Aug. 31 deadline for teams to acquire players who can be postseason eligible, but interest in Blevins never materialized.

METS NOTES

“I wasn’t thinking about that stuff,” Blevins said Saturday before pitching a scoreless 10th inning in the Mets’ 2-1 victory over the Giants in 11. “I am sure my wife was a little bit worried, but not me.”

Blevins, who is headed to free agency after the season, has pitched to a 2.08 ERA since June 29. The rebound has occurred after a brutal first half in which Blevins cratered — especially against lefties.

Even with his recent surge, lefties are 19-for-65 (.292) against Blevins this season.

“I feel like my old self,” Blevins said. “Everything feels sharp and I feel consistent mechanically. I think the results have shown and I am happy to stay a Met.”

Blevins, who turns 35 on Thursday, is completing a two-year contract worth $12.5 million. ➤ Robert Gsellman rebounded from a sluggish Friday night performance by firing a perfect 11th inning for the save. The right-hander didn’t retire a batter Friday, when the Giants scored two runs against him on two hits. It was Gsellman’s first appearance following a strep infection.

“I think probably [Friday] getting him off the mound for nine pitches helped,” manager Mickey Callaway said. “He shook the rust off and felt good after he played catch today and he felt strong and did a nice job to get the save.”
