Mets Post Game: Cardinals 6, Mets 2
3 Standout Performances:
- In possibly his last home game as a Met, Carlos Beltran went 0 for 3 with a strikeout.
- Lucas Duda had 2 hits and a run scored.
- Niese went 6 innings, let up 5 hits, 5 runs (3 earned), 1 walk, and 7 strikeouts.
Niese pitched so much better than his line showed. He let up 3 runs in the 5th inning due to stupid-minded defensive plays and errors. He has matured so much on the mound this year.
Jose Reyes tried to ignite this Mets offense by hitting a lead off triple and scored to put the Mets on the board. However, as soon as he scored, the offense just slowed back down.
Jake Westbrook had the Mets pounding the ball into the ground all day long. He was very economical with his pitches tonight.
Grade for the Game: C-
Mets Post Game: Tigers 5, Mets 2
3 Standout Performances:
- Murphy went 2 for 4 with a homerun off Justin Verlander.
- Pelfrey started and went 4 2/3 innings and let up 8 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, walked 5, and struck out 3.
- Reyes and Bay had 2 hits a piece.
Pelfrey flat out was terrible today. He did not have an out pitch. It was just foul ball after foul ball after foul ball. He didn’t throw inside at all and was afraid of his fastball.
Murphy is such an underrated hitter in the NL. He is over .300 with 5 homers this year. He is a great hitter.
The bullpen was great not allowing a run through 4 1/3 innings pitched.
Verlander was just too much for the Mets today. Go get the Yankees tomorrow.
Grade for the Game: C+
