Yawn. Wake me up when the playoffs start.
Tom Glavine looks like he’s throwing well again. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to win Friday’s game. Glavine gave up two runs on only seven hits in seven innings of work. He struck out seven. The only Mets’ run came on Paul Lo Duca’s solo homerun in the first inning. Jose Reyes had two of the Mets’ five hits and he stole his 49th base of the season.
John Maine got the Mets back on track yesterday even if his scoreless inning streak finally came to an end in the fourth inning. Maine left the game tied 4-4 but the Mets put two runs on the board in the seventh inning. Carlos Beltran went three for five with an RBI. David Wright scored two runs in the 6-4 win, and Pedro Feliciano picked up the win with an inning and two thirds of scoreless relief despite allowing an inherited runner to score that was credited to Maine.
Steve Trachsel also looks like he’s getting back on track. He gave up only a run in 6 2/3 innings. Chad Bradford picked up the win when Michael Tucker homered in the eighth inning to give the Mets the lead. The Mets won this one 3-1 with only four hits and two walks in the game.
Next up is four against the Phillies. They’re still in second place in the NL East, like that matters.
