(by Brett Kahn)The losing streak is over and the Mets can only hope that the Philadelphia monkey is off of their backs for good.
The 8-2 win over the division rival was ugly, but it was still a much needed win. Damion Easley's first hit of the season culminated in a very strange five run inning for the Mets. The runs, for the most part, came as a result of two errors by replacement SS Eric Bruntlett and another one by C Carlos Ruiz. P Kyle Kendrick was yanked after 2 1/3 having only allowed one earned run. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that he walked six batters and allowed six unearned runs. Strange indeed.
Mets P Mike Pelfrey's night was anything but strange. In fact, it was somewhat pleasant. In five inning of work, Pelfrey allowed only two runs while striking out three.
Offensively for the club, Angel Pagan led the way with two RBI's. He now leads the team with eight.
In the rubber match tomorrow, the Mets will send out John Maine while the Phillies will throw Adam Eaton.
