Phillies 5 – Mets 4 June 10, 2009

The Mets ended up losing this one in 11 innings on a Chase Utleyhome run, his second of the game, off Bobby Parnell. But the good news is that Mike Pelfrey found his form and pitched a very good game. He went 6 innings giving up 4 runs (2 earned). If not for a costly error picking up a ground ball by David Wright, Pelfrey’s line would’ve been much better. A side note is that light-hitting Pelfrey was 2 for 3 with a double off the left field wall and an RBI.

The Mets consistently had opportunities offensively but left 16 runners on base. Compare that to the 5 LOB that the Phillies had. Wright and Omir Santos had 3 hits apiece leading the Mets offense.

The Mets and Phillies will play the rubber game of the series tonight at Citi Field.

What to watch: Hamels is coming off a complete game shutout in his last start. While Pelfrey is coming off the worst start of his career. The Phils haven’t lost a game started by Hamels since May 14. The Mets have won 2 of Pelfrey’s last 4 starts. On paper, this one appears to favor the Phils but they still have to play the game.

Mets 1- Phillies 0 May 6, 2009

Johan Santana. What more can you say? This guy is unbelievable.  Tonight he went 7 innings giving up only 2 hits and 3 walks and had 10 strikeouts. His season ERA is down to 0.91 now.

The Mets only got 2 hits in the game. They scored the only run of the game in the seventh innings. Carlos Delgado walked and Fernando Tatis had an infield single that Pedro Feliz threw away into right field. Delgado chugged all the way around from first base to score. He ran threw a Razor http://www.besttramadolonlinestore.com Shines stop sign to score as well.

It seems like Tatis is in the middle of something positive for the Mets every time he gets into a game. This is a continuation of last season. He just seems to have a knack for doing something good for the team.

I should also mention that Chan Ho Park was also outstanding tonight for the Phillies. He went 6 innings giving up only 1 hit.
