Yes the Mets swept the Phillies after a 2 hour delay last night 3-0. Reyes had 2 rbi's and Bay had a rbi double. Reyes is whacking the heck out of the ball. He wound up with 7 hits in the 3 game series. Pelfrey pitched out of jam and gave up a ton of walks but the Phillies were lacking that key hit. They also hit into 3 inning ending double plays against Pelfrey.
Last time the Mets shutout any team in a 3 game set was in 1969 against these same Phillies after the Mets had already clinched there division. The Mets did have 3 shutout games in 1988 against 2 different teams the Cardinals and the Expos with Ron Darling getting one of the wins.
The Mets move on to Milwaukee tonight to face the Brewers. It is nice to face the Phillies and beat them but the Mets were not stellar in this 3 rd game. Pelfrey was one pitch from being sent to the showers at times if any of the Phillies thumpers hit a home run and of course our favorite whipping boy David Wright had a couple of chances to drive in runs but he preferred to waste them by either striking out or grounding out. Fearless Ike had a chance early but struck out against Hamels who pitched pretty good for the Phillies.
Mets go up against the Brewers only decent pitcher tonight,Yovani Gallardo who lost to the Mets twice last year by scores of 1-0. He is 4-2 with a ERA of 3.20 and has had only 1 bad start so far against the Cardinals. Brewers have the worst record at home even after Thursday night walk off walk to win against the Astros.
