Post Game

The Mets won tonight 6-2 over the Nationals in the first game of a three game set.

Key Numbers:
  • Livan: 7ip, 5h, 2er, 2bb, 3k, and only 97 pitchers
  • Murphy: 2-4 with 2rbis, 2b, and 1 run scored
  • Francoeur: 3-4, 2b, hr, and 2 rbis
  • Pagan: 2-4, rbi, 2 runs scored
  • Team: 5-8 with RISP, including four 2-out rbis, and only 2 team LOB

Key Player/Plays

  • Livan: He looked alot better tonight with better control and movement on his fastball was very effective and probably could/should have gone deeper into the game
  • Murphy: Looked very strong at the plate getting both his hits on inside pitchers, which has been a cold zone for him this year. Also made the play of the game in the 8th inning with two runners on and none out with Dunn at the plate. Dunn hit one in the hole and Murphy made a great stop and throw on the run to Cora, who threw to Feliciano covering first for a huge double play.
  • Francoeur: He continues to hit well as he now has 7rbis in as many games, was the only Met player to get a hit after the 3rd inning.

The Mets looked good tonight but failed to amass a big lead, before Francoeurs 9th innning homerun, there offense fell alseep for 5 innings. The Mets need to do a better job of keep chipping away and adding on runs, but luckily for tonight they were playin the Natinals.
