New York Mets Game Recap

The New York Mets defeated the Washington Nationals today in Port St. Lucie by the score of 6-5. Oliver Perez got the start and wasn't very good. He pitched 3 innings giving up 7 hits and 5 runs. He also had 1 walk and 2 strikeouts. Hisanori Takahashi made his debut and pitched brilliantly, he went 3 innings giving up a hit, 0 runs and had 6 strikeouts. Pat Misch finished off the game pitching 3 innings giving up 3 hits, 0 runs and had 3 strikeouts. Ike Davis continued his hot spring with 1 hit in 1 at bat. The offensive star was Omir Santos who hit a inside the park grand slam. The outfielder fell down and that was how a catcher could achieve that plus it is spring training. Luis Castillo had a hit and David Wright had a hit and rbi. Jason Bay was 0 for 2 with a walk. He still has not got his first hit and I am sure he wants to get that out of the way soon. Chris Coste had a hit and Alex Cora had a hit and rbi. The Mets will travel to Jupiter to play the Marlins tomorrow afternoon at 1:05PM. The only news coming out of today was that Mike Pelfrey had a X-ray of his knee and it was negative. The Mets need good injury news as they still are waiting for Francisco Rodriguez to come back from pinkeye and are hoping for the best with Jose Reyes. Reyes will find out Wednesday what is going on with him and hopefully be back on Thursday. Carlos Beltran of course is out with a knee injury to at least May.
