The New York Mets won on Rob Barajas’ home run in the top of the 9th inning to take the game 5-4 from the Cincinnati Reds. It was Barajas’ 7th home run of the year and 4th in his last 4 games. Met starting pitcher John Maine pitched very well giving up only 1 earned run, 4 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts in 6.0 innings. Mejia was solid in the 7th but Nieve blew the save by giving up back-to-back home runs in the 8th inning and getting the Reds back in the game with a 4-4 tie at that point. Felicano pitched the final out of the 8th and earned the win! Rodriguez came in the 9th and earned the save for the Mets. K-Rod’s ERA is a minuscule 0.71 and he now has 4 saves on the season. Jose Reyes had another 2-hit game and his batting average is slowing climbing. David Wright hit his 6th home run of the season. This is a very welcome sight as Wright hit only 10 homers in all of 2009. Jon Niese gets the matinee start for the Mets today and hopes to build upon his last great outing.
