| The Mets win the finale of a 3 game series to prevent a sweep at the hands of the Nationals. Mets starter John Maine was shaky early in this one, but went on to strike out 12 over his 7 innings of work. The first inning was the only one in which the Nats could score on him, tallying 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk that were interspersed with Maine striking out 3. In fact, the first 7 outs that Maine recorded were strikeouts! Meanwhile the Mets scored 6 runs in 4 separate innings off Nats starter Jason Bergmann. The Nats scored in the 8th and 9th to pull within a run and even got the tying run to 3rd thanks to a Ryan Church single, but Chris Snelling grounded out to end the game. I wish I had a decent right handed bat on the bench! Kudos to Nats reliever Levale Speigner, who entered the game in the 5th and went on to pitch 3 1/2 innings of shutout ball. |

John Maine dominated striking out 12 Washington batters and Shawn Green hit a
homerun at RFK STADIUM as the New York (NL) Mets beat the Washington
Nationals by the count of 6 to 5.
Maine(4-0) earned his pay with a solid performance for New York (NL). He went
7 innings allowing 8 hits and 3 walks. Washington threatened in the 9th but
New York (NL) was able to put down the rally.
Maine was helped out by Billy Wagner who recorded his 8th save. Jason
Bergmann(0-2) suffered the loss. He was knocked around, surrendering 6 runs
in 4 and 2/3 innings.
Maine, when asked about his 12 strikeout performance noted, 'The important
thing is that we won, if I get 20 and we lose, what good does it do our team?
But, on the other hand, since we won it feels great!'
