The New York Mets won over the hated Philadelphia Phillies last night in a blow out 9-1 and made me exceedingly happy as I kept checking the score. Jon Niese was brilliant as the Met starting pitcher giving up only 1 earned run, 4 hits, with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts in 7.0 innings. Jenrry Mejia pitched a scoreless 8th and Manny Acosta came in to close out 9th. David Wright, Jeff Francoeur and Rob Barajas all hit homers in the game. In fact Barajas hit his 2nd home run off of Brad Lidge in the top of the 9th where it was Lidge’s first batter faced since coming back into the lineup for the Phillies. The difference in this game was that the Mets didn’t leave runners on the base and instead drove them in. The series continues today at Citizens Bank Park where Mike Pelfrey gets the start for the Mets and Roy Halladay the start for the Phillies in what promises to be an excellent pitchers’ duel.
