The return of Carlos Beltran did not result in a dramatic homerun, though he came close in the 7th. Instead it resulted in a Mets loss. Tim Redding was his pretty usual self, going 5 innings, walking4 striking out 4, giving 4 runs on 2 homers. Only 2.9% of his pitches were swinging strikes, which is pretty damn awful. The bullpen (Elmer Dessens, Sean Green, Ken Takahasi, Pedro Feliciano and Brian Stokes) combined to go 4 scorless. The Mets scored on a Josh Thole sac fly (he went 0/3) for his first RBI, and a Luis Castillo infield single after Angel Pagan tripled. The Mets had the bases loaded in the 7th but Wright struck out, and Beltran flied out (just missed a grand slam), and the inning was over, and the Mets went quietly in the 8th and 9th.
Stupid Decision of the Game: Jerry wanting Pagan bunting in the 7th with 1st and 2nd, no one out. It's not the right call, Jerry, and Pagan let 2 strikes go by before flying out. Kudos to him for not bunting.
Random Thought of the Day: Well, this is the strongest lineup we have.
Clutch Play of the Game: Ross dp in second, +.108 WPA.
