Perez out for season, lose 5-3

They're dropping like flies! In this week alone we have seen Francoeur, Santana and Perez injured, with the latter 2 out for the year. We have seen Putz get shut down. Forgive me if I missed someone. So, Oliver Perez is out for the year with a hurt ego for surgery to fix his patellar tendon tendinosis. Whatever that is.
The Mets scored twice in the second with a Tatis double and Hernandez single, but Mike Pelfrey was not that good, and gave up 2 in the third on a Cody Ross triple, another 2 in the fifth on a Ronny Paulino homer, and one more in the 6th. He went 5.2, walked 5, struck out 2 (one of them the pitcher), and gave up 5 runs. It was not an ace of the staff moment. The Mets scored one in the 6th to make it 4-3, when Sullivan hit a sac fly, after Murphy doubled and went to third on a wild picth, but that was that, and the Mets would not score again. Apparently Sheffield is hurt again. With back spasms. Excellent.
