Ollie Perez went out there and won one for good ole Trot Nixon I suppose. Ollie struck out eight, and went a full seven innings, giving up the sole run and just three hits. Show and Dirty each pitched scoreless, hitless innings, with Dirty walking one. Its safe to say Willie will get at least one night of good sleep, which I assume he’ll spend spooning with Mr Perez. Ollie did kind of err…hit a batter. But hey, its Ollie. Come one. He didn’t balk anyone, unlike certain Rangers starters. I’m just saying.

The offense followed my advice, getting more than a four run lead, primarily off a four run sixth inning, when the team jumped on Feldman, grabbing four straight hits off him. Beltran and Delgado executed the rare Met double steal, and Reyes snagged his 24th of the season. A Delgado double and an Endy Chavez ground rule double were the sole extra base hits, however the team had nine hits in total, including a two out RBI by Beltran .

The Met starters were once again solid, but this time the bullpen held up, and the team was able to finally beat up on another team’s pitching. Consistently too, instead of just scoring a quick few early (which they did) and then petering out (which they didn’t). Now lets make it two in a row.
