(by Brett Kahn)Maybe the extra day off gave John Maine too much time to think about things. Whatever it was, Maine didn't look sharp even though the FOX radar gun clocked him throwing 97 mph at one point.
His fastball didn't move as well as it should've and he didn't throw his breaking ball enough. On top of that, the bullpen made things worse. A combined six runs were given up in four innings by Joe Smith, Jorge Sosa, and Nelson Figueroa.
Was it the wet ball or field? Who knows?
On the offensive side for the Mets, Angel Pagan drove in two runs and is now batting .385 to start the season.
Johan Santana will look to the get the Mets back on track tomorrow in the finale.
