A little late getting this one in, but I opted for bed last night over posting the POTG poll. Better late, than never I guess. The Mets jumped out to a very quick 6-0 lead, then held on for the victory as Florida kept pecking away at their lead. The Mets had 12 hits, all singles, in the game. Luckily, they squeezed 8 of those hits and 2 walks into the first three innings. After that, the hits were hard to come by. The pitching did just enough to hold off the Marlins hopes for a comeback victory.
David Wright's mini slump continued as he went 0-5 and stranded a staggering 10 Mets teammates on the bases. He is in the midst of a 4-22 slump with only one RBI in his last seven games. He's going to break out of his slump soon and I wouldn't want to be the opposing pitcher when he does.
After this win it seems only right they we drink some Flying Fish Pale Ale.
