Mets Shut Out Hated Phillies Again to Complete Three-Game Sweep! This Time 3-0 at Citi Field Thursday

The New York Mets shut out the hated Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 for the three-game sweep last night at Citi Field. With a little luck it could have been 6-0 as Jason Bay missed a towering home run down the left field line that was above the foul pole and just foul. Mike Pelfrey 3-hit the hated Phillies with 5 walks and 5 strikeouts over 7.0 innings. It was important that Big Pelf get 7.0 innings pitched to save the bullpen some work. The win brings Pelfrey’s record to 7-1 on the season. I think it’d be great seeing a Met Battery of Mike Pelfrey pitching to Rob Barajas in the All-Star Game! The Phillies were visibly upset as the game went along. Pedro Feliciano pitched a scoreless 8th for the hold and Francisco Rodriguez pitched a scoreless 9th for his ninth save of the season. Jose Reyes continues his multi-hit game streak going 3-for-5 (1 double), 1 run and 2 RBIs. Angel Pagan had a great night with an diving catch in right center field and went 2-for-4 at the plate. Watching Jayson Werth strike out 3 times and Cole Hamels get the loss for Philadelphia made the night complete.
