Game 47: Mets vs. Rockies @ Coors Field

Claudio Vargas heads to the mound in the midst of this Met debacle.

The Good: Claudio Vargas went seven strong innings for the win and Duaner & Feliciano closed it out. Reyes and Castillo set the double while Beltran got the Mets started with a bases clearing double and they never looked back. Wright and Delgado added shots of their own but the spotlight was stolen by Nick Evans in his first major league ballgame. Called up from AA to fill in for the depleted Met outfield, the youngster collected three doubles on the day and drove them all to right field.

The Bad: No complaints.

Overall: Good win. I liked the way they came out in the first but Delgado pissed me off. He looked terrible all day but ended up with a homer to show for it. Vargas stepped up big time and there are some positives for the first time in a few days. Willie Randolph can breathe easy for another day.

Notes: Marlon Anderson was placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to today's game.

Final Score: Mets 9, Rockies 1. Record: 23-24.
