(by Brett Kahn)Just one night after the Mets lost Pedro Martinez to the DL due to a hamstring injury, Oliver Perez showed why he can be a very reliable starting pitcher in this currently depleted Mets rotation.
Perez showed signs of brilliance tonight throwing six scoreless innings, giving up only five hits and striking out eight fish in the Mets' 13-0 shellacking of the Florida Marlins.
David Wright continues on his torrid pace, going 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI's. OF Ryan Church also duplicated those stats. Wright has now extended his hitting streak to 20 games carrying over from last season.
The Mets' offense totaled 17 hits, including six extra-base hits in the victory.
John Maine will make his season debut as the Mets travel to Atlanta Friday to face Tim Hudson and the Braves.
