Mets lose finale

The New York Mets were going for the sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers today but didn't get it losing by the score of 4-2. I have not been paying attention to the Mets lately on this blog and I have catching up to do so I apologize to the Mets fans and promise to do a better job. Nelson Figueroa made the start in place of Mike Pelfrey and went six innings giving up three runs on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Sean Green pitched a scoreless inning giving up a hit with two strikeouts. Pedro Feliciano struck out the only batter he faced and Bobby Parnell pitched one and a third innings giving up two hits and a run with a strikeout. The offense was stymied again as this has been a theme early on, last year also they didn't come through in the clutch. Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy were both three for five, Reyes had a rbi. David Wright was 0-4 with three men left on base and Carlos Delgado was one for four with a rbi but he left four men on base. Carlos Beltran was two for three with a walk. The Mets lost there opening series of Citi Field to the San Diego Padres two games to one and one this series two games to one. Johan Santana has simply been brilliant pitching to a 0.46 era but after him Perez who was good in his last start is always a question. The Mets don't know if teh good Perez or bad Perez will show up from game to game and John Maine hasn't looked great trying to come back from shoulder surgery, Mike Pelfrey has a injury and Livan Hernandez is the fifth starter which is fine as long as he can eat up some innings for the Mets. The Mets head to St Louis to start a three game series on Tuesday.
