New York Mets Recap

The New York Mets were defeated by the Washington Nationals today by a score of 7-5. Gee pitched 2 hitless innings with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts. Sean Green went 1 inning giving up 1 run on 2 hits and 1 walk, 1 strikeout. On the offensive side Daniel Murphy went 2-3 with 2 walks. Nick Evans went 1-5, Bobby Kielty went 2-3. Johan Santana threw before the game and said he felt fine, no problems and he should get into a game soon and be in line to go opening day. In other news though Mike Pelfrey apparently strained his leg and you are hearing the injury is anywhere from a bug bite to a fracture, if he is hurt bad and will miss significant time this is a big blow to the Mets who I feel don't have great starting pitching as it is other then Johan, they don't know how John Maine is going to bounce back and Ollie Perez is up and down and who knows what the fifth starter will give them. The Mets will play a split squad tomorrow, one of the games against the Nationals away and the other at home against the Michigan Wolverines.
