Beat from the Kwass: I guess Pedro will be back better than we thought. It'll be tough for Willie, whether to send down Jorge Sosa, who is (5-1), who is the 5th starter right now. You have to think the Mets won't go to a six-man rotation especially with how well Tom Glavine, El Duque (aka Orlando Hernandez), Oliver Perez, and John Maine have performed individually and collectively as a group.
Mets In Game Notes:
First off, Mets (35-20) and Phillies (28-29) are tied 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning right now.
Carlos Beltran returns to the lineup tonight after missing all 3 games over the weekend, as the D-Backs took 2-of-3 from the lack luster Mets.
Tom Glavine (5-3)was going for career win #296, and definitely pitched well-enough to win over seven innings, but was pitch-it for by Ruben Gotay in the bottom of the seventh. He'll have to wait another day for that 6th win, and to get to 4 from the majestic #300.
40-year old southpaw Jamie Moyer started for the Phillies and was just as strong over 7 innings. In fact, both Glavine and Moyer allowed 2 runs on 8 hits over 7 INP.
Paul Lo Duca drove in the 2 Mets runs thus far (see how I worded that, lol), with a single in the second, and Chase Utley drove in both Phillies runs (see how I worded that!, lol), with a double in the third (the half-inning later). Lets see if the Mets can pull out another late-inning victory!
