Tonight the Mets bounced back from their loss last night to down the Twins 5-2. Pelfrey went 6 good innings to earn the win while Wright, Reyes and the bullpen did the rest. This was another big win for the Mets as they are currently chasing Atlanta, only 1/2 a game back, who also won tonight.
Key contributions...
David Wright- 2 for 3 with a HR and RBI double. He also accounted for another run with heads up base running, on a single by Ike Davis, after Denard Span overthrew Mauer with no one backing up.
Ruben Tejada- 1 for 3 with a run scored. He also made a great diving play to rob a hit away from Delmon Young in the top of the 4th.
Jose Reyes- 2 for 3 with a run and RBI. He like Tejada also had a great diving catch to rob Jason Kubel in the 7th.
The loss last night didn't phase the Mets in the slightest they came out as the victors without a dominant performance by Pelfrey. Pelf who ended up needing 117 pitches to complete the 6th battled all night but still only gave up 6 hits and no walks. As a whole this team is really starting to gel in part thanks to the solid play from Reyes who was sorely missed last year. In games where Reyes scores a run the Mets are an astounding 132-33. The Mets will now look to take a second against the Twins when they face Carl Pavano tomorrow afternoon.
