postGame: Pirates 7 Mets 5

The Mets (62-56) lost to the Pirates (54-64) by the score of 7-5 at Shea this afternoon.

For a recap, boxscore, stats, etc., go to SNY.tv.

I really don’t even know what to say at this point but here it goes:

  • Since coming off the disabled list, Pedro Martinez has been solid with nothing to show for it. Today he threw six innings while only surrendering one run on three hits.
  • David Wright hit his 23rd HR of the season in the 1st inning. He is 3rd in the NL with 93 RBI.
  • Robinson Cancel had a good day at the plate, driving in a run in the third inning and then smacking a solo HR in the sixth inning.
  • However, four runs was not enough for the fearsome five-some of Joe Smith, Pedro Feliciano, Duaner Sanchez, Aaron Heilman and Scott Schoeneweis. The Pirates scored three runs in the 7th and 9th inning, capped by a Steve Pearce two-out, two-run single.

The Mets start a seven-game road trip tomorrow night in Washington, D.C. with Johan Santana (9-7) facing off against Odalis Perez (5-8).
