Game 3: Mets vs. Marlins @ Dolphin Stadium

Oliver Perez takes the mound as he looks to get off to a quick start.

The Good: Beltran - raking! Although robbed of a home run (ruled off the top of the wall), he provided three doubles of power. He let David Wright and Ryan Church do the bashing. The offense continues to hit well with thirteen more runs tonight. Most importantly, they had that killer instinct - something they did not have last year. Oliver Perez was masterful and earned his first win while Nelson Figueroa and Billy Wagner also looked great. David Wright had a nice diving stop and a sweet barehanded play to end the game.

The Bad: Just Beltran getting screwed.

Notes: After Met fans and the team were down due to Pedro's injury (placed on the 15-day DL and expected to be out for at least six weeks), it was nice to see them come out and wallop the Marlins.

Other News: Brandon Lyon earns me -12 in fantasy.

Final Score: Mets 13, Marlins 0. Record: 2-1.
