Despite losing in the first game, the Mets looked up beat and confident in the second game.
However, in case you missed it, know that Pedro Martinez looked strong, keeping hitters off balance, getting testy with Marlon Byrd, while throwing 92 pitches to 25 batters, of which seven reached base and only two scored; the Mets played some great defense, and some very bad defense; Carlos Beltran and David Wright were a combined 5 for 9 with two RBI; Willie Randolph chose to pinch hit for Martinez in the bottom of the sixth, with the bases loaded, and Martinez on a roll, but Robinson Cancel delivered; and, lastly, Billy Wagner threw a 1–2–3 ninth inning for the save.
Welcome back, Billy – and Willie, enjoy the flight.
The Mets travel to Anaheim to being a three-game series with the Angels tomorrow, with Mike Pelfrey facing Jared Weaver.
