In his return, John Maine went 3 innings, giving up 1 run on 2 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2. With a pitch count of 60, he made it through 3, with 57 pitches. He only had 3 swinging strikes for a 5.3%. Again, he really struggles in innings. If he had no pitch count, it would've been a typical Maine start, going 5 innings.
Tobi Stoner and Lance Broadway did not impress with Broadway giving up a key run in the 8th.
Josh Thole went 4 for 4 with an RBI single. Anderson Hernandez hit a 2 run homer in the 8th (second of the year and career), and the Mets got something going in the 9th, against Brad Lidge. However it would not be enough despite the efforts of Francoeur, Thole and Reed.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Going to Broadway in the 8th. Why get another inning out of him, Jerry? He sucks, it's 4-2, bring in someone to get 3 outs.
Clutch Play of the Game: Hernandez 2 run homer in the 7th. +.063 WPA.
More later on Game 2 of the double header.
