Astros 4 Mets 0 Is it safe to say Mike Pelfrey is NOT ready for prime time? Or are the Mets going to continue to force him out to the mound, and crush his confidence with every outing? Pelfrey pitched six innings, allowing six hits, two walks, one homer, and four earned runs. Not a … Read more
Mets 6 Astros 2 All season, the Mets have been in search of a “stopper” — a bonafide, ace-like starter who can put an end to losing streaks, and reverse negative momentum.
