I'm a little more tired after the West Coast game than I thought I'd be, so I'll make this quick. First of all, I'm back from NYC, so the postings should be more consistent...and Thursday is a day game, so I'll have a full recap.
The Mets bounced back huge from Tuesday night's disappointing loss - Pedro*'s awful start. Kris Benson went eight-and-a-third innings, taking a one-hitter into the ninth inning, and the Mets beat up on San Diego, 9-1.
Future Hall of Famer David Wright had four hits, finishing a triple shy of the cycle, and he tied a career high with 6 RBI. Wright hit career homer number 31 (17 on the season), and added a double (more on that in the Wright Watch).
Carlos Beltran* is slowly showing signs of life - he stole home on a double steal.
This was a good win, coming off a very bad loss. Hopefully the road trip yields more of the former than the latter.
ELTRAN*'S: 27-for-97 (.278 AVG.), 3 HR, 15 RBI, 19 Runs, 5 SB
WRIGHT WATCH: Big double on Wednesday.
SECOND HALF: 8 SEASON TOTAL: 30 TEAM RECORD: 44
WRIGHT NEEDS 14 DOUBLES OVER THE TEAM'S FINAL 49 GAMES TO TIE.
THE KID'S KIDS: The Gulf Coast Mets beat the Nationals 6-5 in 11 innings. They are now 9 games ahead (!) in the division, at 28-13. They have the best record in the Gulf Coast League.
