Game 22: Mets vs. Braves @ Shea Stadium

Mainey vs. Hudson.

The Good: After falling behind early, the Mets put together a big inning to score four runs (Church's rbi triple on Francouer and subsequent score on a grounder was the difference) and that is all they would need. Gustavo Molino also filled in for the injured Brian Schneider and singled in his first Met-at bat. He called a good game, play good defense, and racked up a hit in his first start for New York. Maine managed to pitch through five innings and earned his second win of the year while Aaron Heilman came on in the sixth inning and got two outs before almost choking by allowing a run. Carlos Delgado was shown pulling Heilman aside when they reached the dugout. In the eighth inning, after Feliciano got into trouble, Sanchez was brought in and immediately induced a double play. Billy Wagner would then earn his fifth save of the season and essentially pitched the first Met no-hitter with his ninth inning of scoreless relief.

The Bad: Reyes has to wake his bat up and Heilman still sucks.

Overall: I'll take any win against Atlanta.

Final Score: Mets 4, Braves 3. Record: 12-11.
