The Mets man handled Tim Hudson and the Atlanta Braves tonight by the score of 7-1. Tim Hudson lasted 6 innings gave up 6 hits and 4 earned runs. John Maine went 7 innings gave up 1 earned run on a wild pitch and struck out 7. He had his slider working for him tonight along with his high fastball.

Carlos Delgado hit a 3 run homerun in the 4th inning and Reyes hit a solo homerun in the 5th. Gary Cohen said, "Marlon Anderson is the best pitch hitter on the planet," and he didn't disappoint tonight when he came up with the bases loaded in the 9th and hit a base clearing double to basically put any come back to rest.

Heilman came on in the 8th and had a 1 2 3 inning and theen Schowenweis came on in the 9th and looked good.

I'm glad Maine pitched good and went far in the game to give the pen a rest. What can you say about Marlon, he is the best pitch hitter in the game. Carlos Delgado had hard hits and almost had 2 homeruns as his second at bat wwent to the wall. With Pelfrey on for tomorrow this bullpen might be up in the 4th inning.
