Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Murphy went 2 for 4 with a homerun off Justin Verlander.
  2. Pelfrey started and went 4 2/3 innings and let up 8 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, walked 5, and struck out 3.
  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+

 

Mets Post Game: Rangers 8, Mets 1

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Jason Bay went 3 for 4 with 3 singes.
  2. Manny Acosta gave up 4 runs in less than 2 innings.
  3. Ruben Tejada had an RBI single.

Pelfrey wasn’t terrible toinght, he gave up 3 of his runs in the first and then settled down a little bit walking only 2 on the night. He has really turned his season around from his rough start early in the year.

It was really good to see Jason Bay do very well again. Maybe it is just facing AL pitchers again. Remember he hit a homer (almost 2) against CLE earlier in the year and hit 2 against NYY last season. Very strange if you ask me.

Manny Acosta is simply a bad pitcher, no other way to say it.

Grade for the Game: C
