Game 37: Mets vs. Reds @ Shea Stadium

Oliver Perez will try to find the zone and win one for mommy!

The Good: Perez finally got back on track for his third win and the offense produced as well. Jose Reyes had three hits, Carlos Beltran hit a bomb and had three rbi, and Ryan Church followed Beltran's shot with one of his own to go back-to-back. They did a good job of jumping all over Johnny Cueto in the first inning. Overall, everyone contributed. The bullpen was solid as well.

The Bad: Perez ran into a small speed bump in the fifth, but overcame it. Aside from that, nothing really.

Overall: Good win to take the series.

Notes: Play was stopped in the ninth inning for about five minutes after Willie Randolph pointed out that Dave Ross and Corey Patterson batted out of order. Patterson was ruled out and Ross went back into the batter's box to promptly single up the middle.

Final Score: Mets 8, Reds 3. Record: 19-16.
