Game 4: Mets vs. Braves @ Turner Field

Johnny Maine takes the first stab against the rival Braves.

The Good: The Mets scored five runs and hit the ball pretty well.

The Bad: I thought the missed third strike on Texeira in the first inning got the Braves off to a good start and almost stopped watching when the umpires botched the call on Reyes' liner. Although they overturned that play, it deflated the Mets' momentum a bit. They got no clutch hits when needed and their pitching was not very effective.

Overall: Just a bad game.

Other News: Chase Utley continued his monstrous start with another 2-HR effort, bringing his total to six on the season.

Final Score: Mets 5, Braves 11. Record: 2-2.
