On The Mound
John Maine made the "start" for the Mets on Sunday, throwing two innings and allowing only one hit, a home run off the bat of Miguel Tejada. He walked two and struck out one.
After Maine, the Mets had one pitcher per inning. J.J. Putz got the win, throwing one inning, allowing only one hit and notching a strike out.
