Uh-oh. Here we go again?
Pitching Performance
Pedro Martinez got rocked. He lasted only four innings, allowing seven hits and six earned runs. Two runs came in the second inning, one via a sacrifice fly and another from an RBI single. The fourth was a disaster for Pedro, as he let up four runs in the inning. Three of those runs came when Pedro let up a three-run blast to Greg Dobbs.
Not pretty. Not pretty at all. All that hubbub about skipping the Milwaukee series to work with his trainer didn't seem to work, at all. Oy vey.
From there on out, the bullpen was magnificent. Six pitchers combined to throw five shut out innings, allowing only two hits and two walks, while striking out four.
One day, the bullpen shows up, the starting pitching is awful. Another day, the starter is on and the bullpen blows it. Make up your minds!!
Offensive Output
The Mets only managed two hits off of Jamie Moyer.
When will this man retire?
They did manage to scratch two across, on RBI doubles by David Wright an Carlos Beltran in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Too little, too late.
The Rest of the Story
