Go. Big. Pelf.
Everyone loves a complete game, especially when your bullpen sucks.
Mike Pelfrey has been one of the best pitchers in the National League since the All-Star break and he came up huge Wednesday night against the Braves, throwing a complete-game three-hitter in a 6-3 Mets victory. Pelfrey was aggressive and let his defense work for him, getting 15 outs in the air. He walked three and struck out three for his first complete game in the majors. Pelfrey is 10-2 since May 31.
The Mets jumped on Jair Jurrjens early, scoring five in the first two on a bases-loaded single by Daniel Murphy, who should never have to buy a drink in this town again. An infield single by Fernando Tatis and a throwing error plated two more runs, and then Big Pelf helped his own cause with an RBI single.
David Wright added a solo homer in the fifth, his 24th of the season.
The Mets had two complete games last season -- they have three in their last 23 games. Think the bullpen woes have anything to do with that? Hmmmmmm.
The Mets are 4-7 against the Braves this season and the home team has won every game but one. Remember that four-game sweep in Atlanta in May? Seems like forever. Wonder what Willie is doing these days? (Other than basking in the cheers of Yankees fans).
