Pelfrey Leads Mets To 3-1 Win Over Rockies

image

Mike Pelfrey went 5.2 innings for his fourth win of the season. He gave up no runs on three hits and five walks to go along with five strikeouts.

Jose Reyes led off the game with a triple for the second consecutive game, then scored on a single by David Wright. Carlos Beltran hit a long two run home run to right field into the second deck in the third inning. That was all of the scoring the Mets needed to get the win.

The Mets go home with a new manager after a 4-2 road trip and move to 3.5 games behind the first place Philadelphia Phillies.

Pedro Shelled As Mets Lose To Rockies 7-1

image Pedro Martinez cruised through the first four innings but got clobbered in the fifth giving up six runs and effectively ending the game.

His final line was 4.1 IP/ 9 H/ 6 E/ 6 ER/ 1 BB/ 5 K/ 2 HR. It was a really bad start including home runs on back to back pitches by Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe.

All of the Mets offense happened in the first inning on a Jose Reyes triple and a Luis Castillo sacrifice fly. The Mets did manager to load the bases in the ninth inning but it was too little too late.

Ubaldo Jimenez was on fire tonight pitching eight innings for the Rockies and gave up only two hits and one run. He also chipped in two hits and a run scored.

Pedro Feliciano, Joe Smith, and Aaron Heilman worked clean through the last 2.1 innings of the game.

Carlos Delgado hit his 11th home run off Aaron Cook in the Mets five run second inning. Trot Nixon also hit his first home run as a Met. Carlos Beltran was hitting screaming line drives all over the field tonight in a 3.for 5 effort.

The Mets absolutely look like they had an extra spring in their step tonight. It looks like the momentum from the 10th inning win in Los Angeles on Wednesday carried over to tonight’s game.

Reports are coming in that several Mets (David Wright, Brian Schneider, Fernando Tatis, Robinson Cancel, and even Carlos Delgado) are taking some early batting practice.  Apparently, Delgado didn’t do much of that during Willie Randolph’s reign as manager. The reports also say that Jerry Manuel is with the players running the show.
