Mets Win 5-2 Starting Series On "Wright" Note

According to the New York Mets twitter post , the Mets have won their opening game in their last seven straight series. Teams beaten include: the Twins, the Tigers, the Yankees, the Orioles, the Indians, the Marlins, and the Padres (four of these seven were at home).

The Mets seem to be doing something right of late, as yet again they just need one more victory to win another series. The Mets' win tonight tied their all-time inter-league wins number of 12. If they win tomorrow or Sunday, they get a new team all-time high.

David Wright hit a home run tonight, also driving in two. Mike Pelfrey threw six innings, allowing just two runs. Pedro Feliciano and Bobby Parnell each threw a perfect inning in relief. Francisco Rodriguez did his usual heart attack antics, but held down the fort to get a save. Pelfrey got the win, he is now 10-2 on the year. Kevin Slowey got the loss, he is now 7-5. K-Rod got the save, his 17th.
