The bullpen made it interesting.
The Good
Big Pelf. Six innings of six hit baseball. Pelfrey allowed one run while walking two and striking out five. I know it’s just a title, but is Pelfrey the Mets ace?
Jason Bay went 4-4, scoring three runs.
…which was thanks to David Wright and Angel Pagan combining to go 5-8, driving in four runs.
K-Rod had to make it interesting, allowing two hits, but completed a five-out save to finish out the game.
The Bad & Ugly
Jeff Francoeur is ice cold. Ice. Cold.
Pedro Feliciano started the eighth inning, allowing two hits and hitting a batter before being removed without recording an out. Fernando Nieve, of course, came in and walked in a run before K-Rod entered.
Gary Matthews Jr. is still on the team and was double-switched into the game. Uh…
Game Ball
Wright and Pagan.
