Brewers 6, Mets 3

Tom Glavine had been remarkably healthy throughout his career, so his health wasn't a major concern as he came to New York for the season of his thirty-seventh year. But earlier this season he was forced to miss a start due to injury and tonight he was forced to leave the game after only one inning due to a rib injury. He gave up two hits with neither a walk nor a strikeout before exiting. I don't know the details of the injury or when he'll be back, but could Glavine's age be catching up to him?

Dan Wheeler entered the game in the second inning and gave up four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three to earn the loss. Wheeler gave up a pair of home runs. Pedro Feliciano pitched a pair of scoreless innings with a hit, a walk and a strikeout and John Franco walked two in a scoreless eighth. Mike Stanton closed out the loss nicely, giving up two runs in the ninth on three hits, striking out one.

As for the Met offense, Cliff Floyd and Timo Perez each had two hits, including a double, and scored a run. Timo also drove one in. Jason Phillips had a hit and run and Ty Wigginton had three hits and two RBI. Jose Reyes went 0 for 4 for the second straight night and no Met drew a walk.

Tomorrow, Al Leiter (9-5, 5.12) tries to buiild off of his last start, in which he threw seven scoreless innings for the win. Rookie Wes Obermueller (0-1, 4.50) opposes for the Brewers.  ¶ joe | 12:57 AM |
