PostGame, Mets 5 Phillies 11

NYM: 14-11
PHI: 14-10

WP: Jamie Moyer(3-2)
LP: Johan Santana(3-2)

Starters:

NYM--
Johan Santana
3.2 IP, 8 H, 10 Earned Runs, 2 Walks, 1 K, 4 HR Allowed

PHI-- Jamie Moyer
6.0 IP, 6 H, 5 Earned Runs, 2 K

Pitching:
Well the score tells the story for tonight's ball game as Johan Santana the ace of the Mets staff was lit up and was charged with 10 runs over 3.2 innings. Santana just did not look comfortable and had trouble throwing strikes. He also did not put batters away when he was ahead of the count. I don't believe he has any physical problems, i think it was just a hiccup for him. Over Santana's 6 starts he has averaged an 89.3 MPH fastball, but tonight was sort of a good sign as he was hitting 91 all night long. For the bullpen following Santana, Hisanori Takahashi, Pedro Feliciano, Fernando Nieve, and K-Rod all made appearances.

Offense:
The Mets offense got off to a quick start as they got 3 runs in the first for Santana thanks to a David Wright bomb which was his fifth of the year. In the top of the fourth with Jeff Francoeur aboard Rod Barajas smacked his sixth homerun off the foul pole in left and gave the Mets a 5-2 lead at that point. Jose Reyes is a concern for me lately, as after the first game when he was in the third hole he has not been able to hit and is swinging at the first pitches of his at bats very often. Reyes went 1 for 13 in this series.

Offensive Box Score:

1. CF Gary Matthews JR, 0-4
2. 2B Luis Castillo, 1-4, 1 RUN
3. SS Jose Reyes, 0-4
4. LF Jason Bay, 1-3, 1 RUN, 1 Walk
5. 3B David Wright, 1-4, 1 RUN, 3 RBI(19), 1 HOME RUN(5)
6. 1B Fernando Tatis, 1-4, 1 K
7. RF Jeff Francoeur, 0-3, 1 RUN
8. C Rod Barajas, 2-4, 1 RUN, 2 RBI(13), 1 HOME RUN(6)
9. SP Johan Santana, 0-1, 1 K

Game Picture:

The Game Picture goes to a Phillie tonight, but it could of gone to one of these two players. Shane Victorino or Chase Utley. I chose the flying Hawaiian because his grand slam in the 4th opened up the HUGE inning for the Phillies off of Santana.

The Mets will leave the City of Brotherly Love tonight and will travel to visit the Cincinnati Reds for a 3 game series starting tomorrow night at 7:10 PM. It will be Oliver Perez for the New York Mets as Mike Leake will throw for the Reds.
