Mets Shut Out Hated Phillies Again, This Time 5-0 at Citi Field Wednesday

The New York Metropolitans shut out the hated Philadelphia Phillies once again last night, but this time by the score of 5-0. The Mets got strong starting pitching from Hisanori Takahashi who gave up no earned runs, only 5 hits with no walks and 6 strikeouts to earn the victory and bringing his record to 4-1 on the season. Mejia, Igarashi and Nieve combined to pitch the final 3 scoreless innings. Jose Reyes continues to produce in the leadoff spot going 2-for-4 (HR), 1 run and 2 RBIs. Angel Pagan’s average is not at .291 as he went 2-for-4 with 1 run scored. Rob Barajas has been amazing for the Mets this year doing an excellent job behind the plate and providing lot’s of offensive power from the 8th spot in the lineup. Barajas had 3 huge RBIs last night giving him 27 on the year, ripping a 2-run double in the 6th inning. I love watching the Mets beat-up on the Phils. The Mets are now 1 game over .500 on the year.
