Mets Post Game: Giants 3, Mets 1

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Capuano started and was great. He went 6 innings, let up 2 runs on 4 hits with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts.
  2. Daniel Murphy went 1 for 4 with an RBI double.
  3. Josh Thole went 1 for 2 with a double.

Capuano was great tonight. After a rough first inning of getting the ball stung, he really settled down and kept the giants at bay. I honestly thought after the first inning tonight, he was in for a 3 or 4 inning start. Very tough loss for Capuano tonight.

All of the Mets hits tonight were 2 out doubles. Kind of strange how things work out that way.

The rules with aces are that if you don’t get to them in the first, you probably won’t get to him at all. This happened tonight as the Mets got 1 run off Lincecum in the first, however it was not enough as he shut them down for the rest of his start.

Grade for the Game: B

Sidenote:

Congrats to Derek Jeter on his 3000th career hit and an outstanding game. Being a baseball fan, I really enjoy that type of history. Also, Jeter is one of the few Yankees I have respect for, he’s a classy guy who plays the game the right way even during the steroid era. Send all the hate you want, I am happy for Jeter.

The Numbers:

  • Chris Capuano went 6 1/3 innings and let up 8 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
  • Iggy and Gee combined for 2 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out 3 and letting up 1 hit.
  • Carlos Beltran had 2 hits including a double. Ronny Paulino also had 2 hits.
  • Daniel Murphy hit a double. Ike Davis also had a hit.

You know…I hate making excuses but you Tim Lincecum was simply dirty tonight striking out 12 Mets in 7 innings.

This does not mean that the Mets did not have opportunities. They had 1st and 3rd with 0 outs and could not score. They also threatened with 2 on in the first inning.

Citi Field played very big tonight as it took away 2 potential homers, one Mets and one Giants. The quote “out of any other ball park” came up alot.

Capuano was great as a 5th starter keeping the Mets in the game, just sort of got unlucky with the pitching matchup. I like what he is doing.
