The Maine Event!

Today the Mets clobbered the Dodgers. To make it is easier I'm going to make a list and tell you what each player did.

Jose Reyes- 0-3, but he did have a run and showed some plate discipline by drawing two walks.

Luis Castillo- 2-4, double, one run, two RBIs, and a walk

David Wright- 1-5, and he broke his 0-11 streak in the series with a 2-run 2-out double in the 5th.

Carlos Beltran- 1-5, with a run

Ryan Church- 3-4, solo home run, 1 RBIs, 3 runs

Angel Pagan- 1-2, 1 RBI, 1 run, 1 sb, Pagan had an amazin' catch that forced him to leave the ballgame, he ran into foul territory and flipped over the wall. Endy Chavez replaced him.

        Endy Chavez- 0-3, but he also had two nice defensive plays.

Marlon Anderson- 2-5, double, 1 RBI, 2 runs, and did a nice job at 1st in Delgado's place.

Raul Casanova- 2-4, double, 2 RBIs, 2 runs, and a walk.

Now, bababababa, for the Maine event....

John Maine- Maine went 1-4, with a clutch 2 rbi bloop single to center with 2-outs. He also scored a run. He threw 8 1/3 1 run innings, striking out 4, and allowing only 2 walks and 4 hits. He was replaced after allowing the lone run in the 9th. Duaner Sanchez replaced him.

         Duaner Sanchez- 2/3 innings of quick relief needing only 7 pitches to get out Delwyn Young and James Looney.

So...those stats prtty much say it all as the Mets step closer to regaining the divison lead. After their 12-1 victory the Mets return to Shea to face the Reds.
