Mets 9, Brewers 3

Well, look at that. The New York Mets won themselves a baseball game. They got some help early from some atrocious Milwaukee defense that helped put a run on the board in each of the first two innings. And Tom Glavine was on cruise control early, retiring the side on just nine pitches in each of the first two innings, which allowed the Mets to put the game out of reach early.

In the first two innings, the Mets got a lot of men on base, but weren't able to get more than one run in either opportunity. In the third, they were finally able to bust things open a bit. Mike Piazza walked and was driven in on Cliff Floyd's third home run of the season. Ty Wigginton doubled and later scored on a fielder's choice from Glavine that second baseman Eric Young booted for his second error of the game.

Piazza continued his hot hitting of the last couple of weeks, going two for four witha double, a walk, an RBI and two runs. The home runs and RBI are still proving elusive, but he's raised his average above .300 ater it fell below that mark last year for the first time since his rookie season. He's now hitting .308/.379/.500, which is much more respectable than his numbers from a fortnight past. Roberto Alomar busted out of a lengthy slump with a pair of hits, including one from the right side of the plate, where he's been just dreadful this season. Floyd had a double to go along with his home run. Wigginton was perhaps the biggest offensive star of the game, with four hits, including a pair of doubles, two runs and two RBI. He'd been in something of a slump as well, but raised his average to .286 tonight.

Hopefully the Mets can continue to pound away on the pathetic Brewers pitching and regain some confidence in time for their return home next week. Tomorrow, Jae Seo takes on Ruben Quevedo, who has apparently not started a game yet this year.
