Pat Misch just threw a complete-game shut out for the New York Mets.
I repeat.
Pat Misch just threw a complete-game shut out for the New York Mets.
The Mets won 4-0, taking the series against the Florida Marlins.
Misch surrendered eight hits in the game, seven of them being singles. He also owes Jeff Francoeur a steak dinner, as the right fielder went up and over the wall to bring back a would-be home run off the bat of Chris Coghlan.
Francoeur also hit a two-run home run in the game. The Mets also got runs off a Josh Thole sac-fly and an Anderson Hernandez solo home run.
Misch tossed 101 pitches through eight innings and needed only nine more to get through the final innings. Sixty-seven of those pitches went for strikes.
Oh, and this is six days after Jerry Manuel told reporters that Misch would be pulled from the rotation. Figures.
Nice to see Thole behind the plate for this, too.
