After yesterday's disappointing loss, the Mets sure enjoyed today's victory. The hitting was clearly there, with the Mets scoring 3 runs in the first and an astonishing 6 runs in the 3rd inning. Add in Carlos Delgado's 15th home run and Jose Reyes' 10th triple, and you've got yourself a "W."
Carlos Beltran had the night off, but it didn't seem to hurt the Mets at all. Super-sub Endy Chavez went 2 for 5 and scored a run and knocked in another. The Met with the worst day offensively (arguable, obviously) was Ramon Castro, and even he had a walk and a run scored.
Even Mike Pelfrey (a terrible hitter, historically) got in on the fun, getting a hit, a run, and get this, his first Major League RBI in yesterday's game. Oh, he also pitched pretty darn well, giving up a single run in 7 innings.
Going into a weekend four-game series against the division-leading Phillies, the Mets are 42-43 and 4.5 games out of first.
The Mets can theoretically leave Philadelphia on Monday just half a game out of first.
