Game 1 Mets 4 Nationals Johan Santana was great again. Santana gave up only a 6th inning HR to Nick Johnson while striking out 10. Mets scored single runs in the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th innings to get Johan his third win. Jesus Flores homered in the ninth off K-Rod to make it close. Uh..with our stellar catchers, how did we let Flores get away?
Game 2 Mets 8 Nationals 2 Three errors and five walks by the visitors helped the Mets win going away. Carlos Beltran had three hits and Ryan Church knocked in three to pace the Amazin’s attack. Mike Pelfrey was much better in his return from tendonitis in his forearm. I knew only one other guy who developed tendonitis in his forearm but that was from…uh, nevermind.
Game 3 Nationals 8 Mets 1 Oliver Perez reverts to form giving up 7 earned in 4 1/3. Manuel says Perez will get one more start in the Phillie series before a decision is made on his immediate future. Ollie is now sportin’ a 9.31 ERA. Nice work if you can get it for $12 million per. Jesus Flores homered again. He was 5 for 8, 3 runs scored, 5 RBI and 2 HR’s in the two games he played. Think he might get up a little more against the team that let him go?
