(Mets Merized Online)
The Mets stopped their three game slide tonight thanks to Rod Barajas. Well its thanks to more than just Barajas but going into the 8th inning the Mets had a two run lead, which was then given up by Nieve. When it seemed like the Reds were getting momentum back, spurred by two quick outs by the Mets in the top of the ninth, Barajas took the the Reds deep and gave the Mets the go ahead run. Here are some observations from the game:
1) The Mets opened the game with three consecutive hits.
2) Wright has slowly breaking out of a mid April slump with another homer, three in the last week.
3) Barajas now has 7 homers on the season. Mets catchers had a combined 12 homers last season.
4) Maine only allowed 1 ER tonight as he now has two back to back good starts. Hopefully this trend continues.
5) Reyes continues to raise his BA with another 2-4 game, with a RBI single and a double in tonight's game.
