Are we still trying to win without scoring runs?

Bruce failed to go 1st to 3rd on a single when I thought he could have and subsequently wasn't in position to score on the ensuing long fly out. And there were several inning-ending GiDPs which killed rallies despite lots of hits. In short, they had the lots of singles and no clutch hits thing going.

Your final, 8-2, suggest the team is returning to the score-some-runs philosophy of winning baseball. All of the runs, however, came from the fifth inning on, as reserve Mets were filtering into the game. [list][*]They got four hits and eight total bases out of the leadoff spot, from Reyes (single, triple, double) and Rivera (double).[/*:m] [*]Braves pitcher Eddie Phillips came on with one out in the ninth, and after giving up three hits and a run (plus one inherited run), he settled down and struck out Met reserves Patrick Biondi and Blake Tiberi, the last two Mets batters of the game. This sequence would be unremarkable, except that those were the Mets first two strikeouts of the game. Mets pitchers outpaced their Braves counterparts 17-2 in the strikeout department.[/*:m] [*]Mets uncharacteristically banged out 14 hits, with none of them leaving the yard.[/*:m] [*]25-man roster aspirant Josh Smoker pitched a perfect ninth, fanning two (though nobody you, you know, ever heard of).[/*:m] [*]Cranepooler/evening wear model Kevin Chapman pitched a scoreless sixth for the Braves.[/*:m][/list:u]
