Don't let the 7-3 score (box score) fool you, it might have been somewhat close (for the Mets), but they only had three hits and had two errors. Quality baseball from players. Tom Glavine pitched five innings, giving up four runs and eight hits in the loss.

The Mets played without Mike Piazza, Kaz Matsui, Cliff Floyd, and Jose Reyes. The list of injured Mets is getting longer and longer.The Astros played without Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. It was recent call-up Danny Garcia who scored the go ahead run in the 7th inning. He scored on a single by utility-man, Joe McEwing, who was starting at shortstop.

Last night, Steve Trachsel threw 6 2/3 shutout innings and Mike Stanton and John Franco finished the game, extending the Mets streak of shutout innings to 22. The Mets got started in the 3rd inning when Mike Piazza, the man the Mets can always turn to, hit a single to scoring Danny Garcia. Piazza also had a solo home run in the 6th inning. In the 7th inning, with two outs and the Mets up 3-0, Ty Wigginton dropped the ball (literally) to load the bases, extending the inning and ending the night for Trachsel. The error is the latest thing to make Flushing Local wonder if it's time for him to go. Lucky for the Mets, Stanton struck out Jimmy Rollins to end the inning.

Gothamist remembers its first home run in Little League. A young Gothamist ran around the bases as the fielders continuously made errors. Hmm, maybe it was more of a single with three errors and some quality base-running than an actual home run. We can only hope that our little league team does a little better than our childhood opponent.
