Brad Holt’s second FSL outing was very uneven, he gave up a run on 2 hits, but walked 5, hit another, and threw a wild pitch. Scott Moviel relieved him and wasn’t much better then he’s been in the rotation, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks in 3 innings.

The Mets offense, on the other hand, was outstanding, hammering out 15 hits and a stellar 5/1 BB/K, though they were just 4 for 16 with RISP and left 11 on base. Jordany Valdespin, Wilmer Flores, Stefan Welch, Rafael Fernandez and Mike Moras had multi hit games, while Juan Lagares took the only 0-fer.
