Pelfrey’s Excellent Start Leads Mets Past Padres 4-2 at PETCO Park Tuesday

Mike Pelfrey was brilliant last night at PETCO Park to earn the win. Big Pelf gave up only 1 earned run, scattered 4 hits, with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts in 8.0 innings. He’s lowered his ERA to 2.39 and brought his record to 8-1 on the season. Francisco Rodriguez came into the game in the bottom of the 9th and earned his 10th save of the season but it was a bit of an adventure, giving up 1 earned run on 3 hits with 2 strikeouts. Johan Santana starts for the Mets tonight in the rubber game of the series. If they win today it will be the first series the Mets would win on the road this year. Ike Davis hit a 2-run homer and went 2-for-4 and Jeff Francoeur continued his hot hitting going 2-for-3. David Wright hit a home run last night. The Mets need to score some runs for Santana early.
