Hey everyone! Marc Jimenez here as the Mets look to win two of three from the Rockies and take this series. Mike Pelfrey (3-6, 4.62) will be going for the Mets (36-37). In his last start he allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks in six-plus innings during a 9-6 win over the Angels on Monday. Greg Reynolds (2-4, 5.98), who gave up a run in six frames during a 10-2 win over the Indians on Tuesday, will be on the hill for the Rockies (32-43).
Will be back after the Mets bats. Feel free to share your comments.
Top 1st: Reyes led off the game with a triple -- for the second straight day -- and scored on an infield single by Wright. Mets 1, Rockies 0.
Bottom 1st: The Mets caught a break this inning. With a runner on third (Baker) and one out, Pelfrey walked Helton on a wild pitch and for some reason, Baker, didn’t come home right away. Instead he waited a second, broke home and was gunned down easily: Castro to Pelfrey, who fanned Atkins to end the inning.
Top 2nd: Castro singled up the middle, which was nice of him because he allowed Pelfrey to make the final out of the inning.
Bottom 2nd: After walking Hawpe to lead off the inning, Pelfrey overcame an error by Easley (who dropped a potential double-play ball) by getting Torreealba to ground into a double play and retiring Reynolds.
Top 3rd: Beltran belted a two-run homer, his 11th on the year, following a two-out walked by Wright. Mets 3, Rockies 0.
Bottom 3rd: 1-2-3 inning for Pelfrey.
Top 4th: Not much for the Mets this inning. Nixon reached on an error by Baker (at second) and made it all the way to third before Pelfrey grounded out to end the inning.
Bottom 4th: Following two quick outs, Pelfrey worked in and out of trouble. He walked Hawpe and gave up a doubled to Tulowitzki before getting Torrealba to fly out.
Top 5th: The Mets go down in order for the first time this afternoon.
Bottom 5th: Pelfrey is looking very sharp. He fanned Taveras and Baker en route to a perfect inning. He is up to 81 pitches.
Top 6th: Nixon hit a two-out single, but that was it for the Mets.
Bottom 6th: After walking two (Helton and Hawpe) and retiring two, Pelfrey was lifted for Joe Smith, who retired Tulowitzki to end the inning. Pelfrey scattered three hits with five strikeouts and five walks in 5 2/3 innings. Chavez came in to play right.
Top 7th: Following a one-out infield single by Chavez, Reyes grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Bottom 7th: Smith allowed a leadoff homer to Torrealba before throwing Holliday out at first to end the inning with a runner at second. Mets 3, Rockies 1.
Top 8th: Jason Grilli relieved Reynolds (3 runs, 6 hits, 2 strikeouts, 1 walk, in 7) and set down Anderson, Wright and Beltran.
Bottom 8th: Duaner Sanchez came on and worked a scoreless inning.
Top 9th: The Mets go down 1-2-3 in the inning. Time for Billy Wagner to come in and nail this win shut.
Bottom 9th: Wagner gets his 17th save by retiring the side in order. Mets are 3.5 games behind Philly. Final: Mets 3, Rockies 1.
