Mets Split Day-Night Doubleheader

Today the Mets had a doubleheader because of the rainout yesterday.

1st game- in the 1st game the mets scored 12 runs for the second straight game. Those twelve runs propeled the Mets to their 18th win and Santana's 4th. The best news though, was probably Carlos Beltran driving in 5 whie going 2-3. Santana wasn't his strongest but he struck out five oh 10 hits, 3 runs, and 1 walk. Other big news: in the 7th inning Delgado and Schiender went back to back off of Lincoln.With his homer Delgado went 3-4 and Wright went 2-3 with 3 runs. The 2nd game was another story though.

2nd game- The Mets couldn't hit anything against Arroyo. Pelfrey went 6 strong getting the lose on only two runs. I'm not so mad about the lost but the way the Mets played in the 8th and 9th. In those two innings Sanchez allowed two earned runs in the 8th and in the 9th Wagner allowed 3 unearned runs which keeps his era at 0.00. Here's what I think, the Mets 'pen is tired already. The Mets lead the Majors in releif apperances per game with 3.6 apperances. But if the Mets had kept the lead for the Reds down to 1 the Mets could've won that game. To me it's not so much the lost but the way we give up runs late in the game.

Tommorw the Mets play the Reds at 1:10 ET and the lool to win the rubber game with Perez on the mound.
