The New York Mets used a huge fifth inning where they scored eight runs to defeat the San Francisco Giants by the score of 9-6.  It was awesome to see Pedro Martinez back on the mound and even getting a couple of hits in the game!  It was good win for the Mets, who really need to string together four or five wins in a row.

Martinez tossed six innings and gave up seven hits and three runs to get his first win of the season.  Martinez also had two hits and an rbi at the plate.  Maybe he was working on his batting all this time he was on the disabled list lol.

Joe Smith and Pedro Feliciano both threw scoreless innings after Pedro left the game but then the Mets called on Scott Schoeneweis who let three runs score and make the game a lot closer then it should have been.  Billy Wagner was able to record the last two outs of the game and pick up his 12th save.

Damion Easley was the big man at the plate for the Mets as he finished with three rbi while going 3-4.  While Easley had three rbi, it was six other Mets players that all chipped in with one rbi each.  Jose Reyes, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Ryan Church, Carlos Delgado, and Martinez all had one rbi.  That is a lot of production up and down the lineup.

The Mets will play the Giants once again on Wednesday as they play an afternoon game out in San Francisco.  Mets Blog
