Not exactly how the Mets drew up their first game in Citi Field ending.
The Mini Recap
Mike Pelfrey struggled early, allowing a home run to Jody Gerut to lead off the game. Pelfrey took a tumble off the mound in the second inning, and allowed three runs to score with two outs. The Mets scratched back, capped off by a three-run home run by David Wright.
The game came down to an error and a balk in the sixth inning. Ryan Church couldn’t track down a fly ball and Luis Rodriguez ended up on third base. Two outs later, Pedro Feliciano flinched, a balk was called, and the Padres scored the eventual game winner. The Mets threatened only once, but couldn’t scratch out another run.
