Good Win Last Night

With Barry Bonds sitting out with a sinus infection the Mets did exactly what they were supposed to do last night. Beat the opposition when their best player is out of the lineup. And they did so convincingly outscoring the Giants 6-2. Several bright spots included:

  • Steve Trachsel pitched 8 strong innings allowing 5 hits and 2 runs (1 earned). He walked 4 batters but when you win you can still call it a good night.
  • Mike Cameron hit a tie breaking 2 run homer. It was his 5th dinger of the year and first at Shea.
  • Jason Phillips broke out with 2 hits, a run and 2 RBIs.
  • Kaz Matsui went 3 for 5 ending a 3 for 30 slump.
  • It was nice to see Edgardo Alfonzo last night even though he had a very bad night. Playing second base Alfonzo committed 2 errors and misplayed a ball before being lifted in the bottom of the eighth inning.
