The Happy Weekend Recap: Mets take 2
The Good Ollie was in the house Sunday as the Mets took two of three from the Reds on Mother's Day. The on-again, off-again offense was on again in a big way as the Mets pounded out eight runs on 14 hits in an 8-3 victory. In game one of Saturday's day-night doubleheader, the Mets scored a dozen runs on 12 hits.
Perez won for the first time in three weeks and did it all, pitching six innings and allowing three runs on three hits with four walks and a season-high eight strikeouts. He also walked and stole a base in the second inning and then dropped down a bunt single in the fourth.
This is what we like about Perez - he's got great stuff and he is undoubtedly a competitor. But you take the good with the bad, and when he's bad, he's very, very, very bad.
Remember when Carlos Beltran was riding the interstate? Well, he's now 9 for his last 22, and went back-to-back yard with Ryan Church in the fifth to give the Mets a 6-0 lead.
The Mets finally gave Johan Santana some run support in Saturday's first game, and he needed it. Santana allowed 10 hits in six innings and struck out five as the Reds battled him. But the Mets just raked Cincy pitching, especially Beltran, who tripled and drove in five. Carlos Delgado had three hits and teamed with Brian Schneider for consecutive homers in the seventh.
The nightcap was forgettable, as Mike Pelfrey did not enjoy any support from his lineup as the Reds won, 7-1. Bronson Arroyo shut the Mets down, something he's not done much of this season with an ERA over 7.
Weather permitting, the Mets look to continue to hit Monday night against the Nationals.
