The Mets clobbered the Marlins tonight and took the rubber game of the opening three game set in Miami. Oliver Perez (1-0) got the win for the Mets. Andrew Miller (0-1) took the loss for the Fish. For a full recap, head to MLB.com.

What more can you say about Perez? Having just gotten the news Pedro would be down for 4-6 weeks, He silenced all doubters for now with his six inning shutout performance. He allowed five hits and struck out eight along the way.

Everyone was hitting tonight, from Reyes to Schneider. The biggest boppers of all were Wright and Beltran. Beltran went 3-4 with two runs scored and an RBI, but was robbed of a home run after the umpires huddled together to decide whether Beltran’s ball hit above the yellow line in the right field bleachers. It was overturned after originally being called a homer. Wright went 3-5 with three rbis and deposited his first home run deep into the left field bleachers.

Billy Wagner, Nelson Figueroa, and Pedro Feliciano all made their season debuts and pitched scoreless innings.

The Mets are off tomorrow, but continue their season on Friday. The projected pitchers are John Maine for the Mets and Tim Hudson for the Braves. It will be Maine’s first start of the season. Hudson will be making his second start after allowing one run on six innings in his season debut last Sunday.

Well, I had wanted a 12-1 victory before the game, but 13-0 suits me fine….
