A Mets starter finally pitched past the 7th inning Wednesday, with John Maine coming just two outs short of a complete game against the Dodgers. The position players did their part, pounding out 12 runs on 13 hits, and knocking Dodger ace Brad Penny out in the 5th. After a rough opener to the series and passive play throughout April, the Mets offense played out the three-game series with renewed aggression, combining for 24 hits and 4 stolen bases. Perhaps a corner has been turned.
Fantasy Notes
Ryan Church went 5-for-12 with 2 HR in LA. Jose Reyes went 1/11, David Wright went 1/13. The Mets have suffered too many overlapping cold streaks early in the season, but if they can carry some momentum from Wednesday, that offense could get scary.
On a side note, former Met Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle against the White Sox, with a lead-off homerun in the first, a triple in the 5th, a double in the 6th, and a single in the ninth.
