New York Mets Recap

The New York Mets defeated the Baltimore Orioles today 9-8. Brandon Knight got the start in place of the injured Mike Pelfrey and went 2 innings giving up 4 hits and 3 runs with 1 strikeout. Brian Stokes went 1 perfect inning. Casey Fossum went 1 2/3 innings giving up 3 runs on 3 hits with 3k's. On the offensive side Luis Castillo went 1-2 with a walk and 2rbi. Nick Evans had a pinch hit grand slam. Daniel Murphy went 2-3 and Ryan Church had 2 walks. The Mets will play the Washington Nationals away tomorrow with John Maine to start. Luis Castillo has looked good so far for the Mets and they got more good news with Johan Santana appearing to be ready to get into a game this week and on his way towards opening day. The Mets main question now is how severe is Mike Pelfreys injury and who will win the fifth starter job as no one is running away with it, they are all struggling right now.
