Post Game: Nationals 3 Mets 1

by Regis Courtemanche on July 22nd, 2009 at 9:29 pm

The Mets lost to the Nationals, 3-1, tonight in D.C.

For a full recap and boxscore, click here.

The Least You Should Know:

• Mike Pelfrey didn’t pitch poorly tonight, unintentionally walking one and allowing six hits, but he made a mistake to Josh Willingham in the sixth inning which landed in the bleachers.  Adam Dunn scored as well because Jeff Francoeur lost his fly ball in the lights, enabling him to reach second. Pelfrey went seven innings overall.
• The lone Mets run came when Angel Pagan hit a triple, also in the sixth, then scored on a throwing error in the same play.
• The Mets had a chance to rally in the eighth. With one out, Jeremy Reed doubled, then Pagan walked. However, Fernando Tatis and Daniel Murphy were unable to make anything happen.

Etc., Misc., and other Observations:

• The band-aid was pulled off quickly in this loss, as it lasted just over two hours.
• Losing a series to the Nationals is deflating, and I hope this team can muster some heart to play like professionals soon.
• The Mets and Teddy Roosevelt have a lot in common.
• The lack of power, and any kind of offense for that matter, is really unbelievable.

The Mets kick off a series in Houston on Friday, with Johan Santana facing former Met Mike Hampton at 8:05 p.m.
