Mets 3, Diamondbacks 1

Well, it's a start. After a series of ineffective starts and health concerns, Tom Glavine went out and gave a very solid performance to earn his seventh win of the season. Glavine threw just 73 pitches over six innings, giving up one run on four hits while walking and striking out two. The win is his first in over a month and a good sign fiven that he had to leave his last start after just one inning due to injury.

Roger Cedeno continued his hot hitting, going three for five with a double and an RBI as well as a stolen base. Cedeno is hitting .500/.485/.750 in the month of August. We can only hope he keeps this up long so that his stats might trick someone into trading for him in the off season. Who knows, maybe some slow-witted American League team could use him as a DH or something. Interesting note: entering tonight's game, Cedeno's batting average was .268 against both righties and lefties. Jose Reyes went one for four with an RBI infield single and also drew another walk. Current numbers: .295/.315/.394. And National League offensive rookie of the year Jason Phillips went hitless in four at bats, but did draw a walk of his own. He's now at .318/.391/.458.

Tomorrow, Jae Weong Seo (5-8, 4.34) goes for his first win in nine starts against Elmer Dessens (6-7, 4.92).
