After a rain-out last night, Johan heads to the mound on five day's rest.The Good: Reyes went 3-3 and sparked the offense but still only scored once after being on base six times. Ryan Church had a huge home run to tie the game and Wright got the winning run in on a bases loaded sac fly in the eleventh. However, this game should have been over long before then. Good patience at the plate. Although Duaner gave up a big run, he weathered the storm and Wagner was effective yet again. Wright's late rbi earned the win for Jorge Sosa.
The Bad: Johan Santana was screwed out of a win but he only pitched into the sixth while giving up two home runs. Although he appeared uncomfortable in the cold weather, I expected more than what we have seen thus far. Aaron Heilman also gave up a run, Duaner allowed his first, and so did Wagner. Reyes had a good offensive night, but he made an error in the ninth that lost Johan's win and blew Wagner's save.
Overall: Ugly win.
Notes: The Mets have signed Harold Reynolds to join the SNY pre and post game show. Moises Alou is expected to join the team on Friday after MRI results were negative. Also, for those who don't believe Beltran hustles in the outfield, his belly flop to nearly save the game in the ninth stands out in the back of my mind. "Chavez, hitting just .160 coming in, singled to lead off the bottom of the fifth and raised his hands palms up as if saying 'I don’t know how I did it' while running down the first-base line. He scored an out later on Reyes’ triple off the wall in right-center."
Final Score: Mets 5, Pirates 4. Record: 14-11.
