Citi Opener Ends Badly
The Mets had a great comeback last night capped with a David Wright home run, his first of the season and the first regular season home run for a Met at CitiField. The problem is that the comeback came in the 5th inning and only tied the game. The Mets would not score another run in the game. But the visiting Padres would score one in the top of the 6th inning on a Pedro Feliciano balk and end up losing the game 6-5.
The game included an error by Ryan Church that cost 3 runs in the 2nd inning. Church will be spelled by Gary Sheffield for tomorrow’s game but I don’t read very much into this. I think Jerry Manuel just wants to see Sheffield play a little bit and it’s still Church’s job to lose.
Mike Pelfrey allowed 8 hits in 5 innings. There’s some concern over the lack of movement on his pitches but it’s too early to tell if there is a real issue.
