The Mets may be hurting, but not on the scoreboard. Today, the Mets are officially .500 in the Grapefruit League after a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. This was the Mets first extra innings game of the year. The winning pitcher was Ivan Maldando and Carlos Muniz had a blown save. For the complete box score, visit MLB.com.

Here are some notes from today’s game:

• Ramon Castro, today’s DH, drove in the games first run with…yes, you heard me right…a TRIPLE. Go Shrek!
• Jose Reyes followed that up with a RBI single up the middle.
• Billy Wagner allowed one run in one inning of work.
• The Mets won it in the 10th inning when backup infielder Ruben Tejada hit a 2 out RBI to drive in Michel Abreu from 1st base.
• Mike Pelfrey went 3 scoreless innings with just 2 hits.

Major thanks to Rob Harding for giving me the rundown of today’s game.
