You win some, you lose some, and once in a while it happens in the same day.
After a rocky first inning, a mouthguardless Mike Pelfrey settled in and had a decent outing overall. He got into trouble a few times, but went 6 innings, allowing just two runs on eight hits.
Bronson Arroyo bounced back nicely after his last outing by pitching eight innings and nearly shutting out the Mets.
Fully rested after a pregame nap, Keith almost started eating ribs during the broadcast…classic.
David Wright attempted to score from first on a Carlos Beltran double in the third, but was gunned down at the plate by a perfect relay initiated by Ken Griffey Jr. Wright also came close to a home run in the fifth to no avail…it’s a game of inches as David will attest.
In the eighth, Duaner Sanchez gave up two runs which put the game out of reach. Gary Cohen noted how Sanchez was inappropriately booed, but it was nothing like what Aaron Heilman has been getting lately. Heilman pitched a perfect seventh by the way.
The wheels fell off in the ninth. Errors by Wright and Carlos Delgado helped three runs score, none of which were charged to Billy Wagner, whose ERA remains at 0.00.
Get some rest boys, go out there tomorrow and win the series. These are the ones you need to take.
