Finally the Mets scored more then 1 run. They scored more then 2. They actually went for broke and scored 3 which is alot for a starting pitcher of the Mets to be afforded these days. Well of course that wasn't enough since Johan Santana will see Hunter Pence in his sleep since he clocked 2 home runs off him and was the hero for the Astros with all 4 of his teams rbi's on those 2 homers.
The second was the death march for the Mets who just had 0 for August boy David Wright connect for a solo shot in the 8th to tie the score at 3. Santana was not able to get his changeup over in the 1st while the Astros lashed out a couple of hits to start the frame and before you knew it the Stros were up 3 zip on Pence's 3 run shot.
The Mets for once didnt die and score 2 off of Figgy in the first 2innings but then couldn't score again until the 8th. The Mets had 8 hits but Davis,Frenchy and of course Tejada went hitless. I love the kid Tejada but how long are we going to watch this kid take the collar night after night. Yes he field but right now throw Castillo out there who can at least hit his way out of a paperbag. The season is over and it be nice to get the offense going at least.
Wright's home run was his 18th and his first rbi this month. Mets face Myers tonight who is the Astros best pitcher now and his ERA is just above 3. The Mets have R A Dickey coming off his 1 hit gem at home.
