The Mini Recap
John Maine made the start and went six strong innings for the Mets. He allowed only three hits and the only run came off a solo home run off the bat of opposing pitcher Paul Maholm. Maine walked two and struck out three. Ken Takahashi and Brian Stokes finished out the final three innings.
The Mets pounded Maholm for seven earned runs in five innings and tacked on three more in the final two innings. The Mets had their second five run inning in two games, singling six times in the fourth. Carlos Beltran added a solo home run in the fifth and David Wright knocked an RBI triple in the seventh.
A very solid game all around for the Mets. Great to see.
