Pitching:
Oliver Perez did not have much of anything tonight, meaning he was not awful just was not good. He was a walk machine tonight as it looked as if he just could not hit his spots and could not grip his pitches. He was always blowing on his hands as he looked like he was freezing. He could only go into the fourth luckily thanks to Takahashi the damage for Perez was not worse. Following Perez, as i mentioned Hisanori Takahashi was brought on and was great as he went 3.1 Innings, only allowing 1 Run, while striking out 5. After Takahashi, Jenrry Mejia was brought on and walked one batter but escaped the inning unharmed. Finishing off the game, was Raul Valdes who let up 1 run in the ninth but still closed it out for the Mets 6th straight win.

Offense:
When the pitching was not good the Offense came through, especially David Wright. The first run came in the bottom of the first when after Angel Pagan got on, Jose Reyes knocked him in with a single up the middle which gave the Mets a 1-0 lead. In the same inning with Reyes on first, Jason Bay ripped his third triple of the season( which is his total of last year )to score Jose Reyes and gave the Mets a 2-0 lead. The third run came on a Ike Davis sac fly to score Jason Bay, which gave the Mets a 3-0 lead going into the 2nd inning. The Mets scored a few runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning, the fourth Mets run came on an RBI single by David Wright to score Angel Pagan. The fifth & sixth run's came in the same inning when Ike Davis took a pitch and belted it into the gap which scored Jose Reyes and David Wright. In the bottom of the sixth the Mets scored the final four runs of the night. The first of the inning came with the bases loaded and Jose Reyes up, he grounded a pitch to the shortstop Jamey Carroll, and Carroll went for the force and home and made a bad throw which allowed Henry Blanco to score. The final 3 runs came with the bases loaded and David Wright up, he belted a three run RBI triple into right center which scored Angel Pagan, Luis Castillo, and Jose Reyes. David Wright had a huge night tonight and also reached a milestone as he secured his 1,000 major league hit. Congrats David!
