Mets Game 85: Win Over Dodgers
Mets 5 Dodgers 2
Thanks to a two-game winning streak, the Mets surge back over the .500 mark with a win on the West Coast.
Mets Game Notes
Who needs Jose Reyes when you have Angel Pagan in the leadoff spot and Ruben Tejada playing shortstop? The two combined for four hits, three runs, and an RBI.
Chris Capuano gave his usual above-average six innings, but Bobby Parnell produced an unusually spotless two frames to bridge the gap to Frankie Rodriguez, who earned his 21st save and 32nd finish (23 more to go for the pot of gold).
Next Mets Game
