Game 3 Review

I can honestly say I did not expect this. I dont think many people did.

Mets (3-0) 7, Braves (0-3) 5

Jon Niese took a no hitter into the 7th inning en route to a win while striking out seven. Frank Fransisco also pitched the ninth for his third save in a row. Tim Byrdak pitched the 8th for his 2nd hold of the year.

Offensively, we had the best game of the year. They pounded out 11 hits, 5 of which were doubles. After 3 HRs on Saturday, the team hit zero today.

Ruben Tejada went 4-5, Daniel Murphy 2-5, and David Wright 1-1. However, Ike Davis went 0-3, and has yet to record a hit this year (he has two walks). Not good at all.

The Mets head home to play the Nationals in a tough series. Pelfrey pitches tomorrow.

Switching gears.... Boston's bullpen blew the game twice today. Think they miss Bailey yet?
