The New York Mets defeated the Florida Marlins 7-6 on the road last night in Florida. The game marked the return of David Wright to the Met lineup and he made an immediate impact. Stepping up to the plate in the top of the first inning he hit an RBI double, to the delight of the crowd. Just like that he was back. Batting in the cleanup spot he went 2-for-5, (2) 2B, 2 runs, 2 RBIs with 1 strikeout. Met starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey continues to struggle, giving up 4 earned runs, 5 hits, 2 HRs, with 4 walks and 3 strikeouts in 6.0 innings. He threw 115 pitches with most of them seemingly in the first three innings. The Mets have found their setup man and closer combination in Bobby Parnell and Jason Isringhausen. Both combined for the win and save respectively. The Mets play the Marlins tonight and Chris Capuano get the start for the Mets. He lost to the Marlins last Monday at Citi Field in a rainout makeup game.
