However, in case you missed it, know that, while Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado each had three RBI, and the name of the game tonight was Mike Pelfrey, who let up just six hits and one run, while striking out six, through seven innings of work. He kept the ball away, he kept it down, he mixed up his pitches, and made several hitters, including Albert Pujols, look foolish. He is finally throwing strikes, not messing around, and getting the job done.
In his last seven starts, Pelfrey is 4–0 with a 3.05 ERA, during which the Mets are 6–1.
What’s more, Pelfrey drove in the first run of his career, with an RBI single in the third, which basically broke the game open.
The Mets begin a four-game series tomorrow with the Phillies in Citizen’s Bank Park starting at 7:05 pm, with Johan Santana (7-7, 3.01 ERA) taking on J.A. Happ, who will be making his first start of the season.
