(by Brett Kahn)When Pedro Martinez went down earlier this month, the pitching staff looked shakier then ever. Then, a shining star made his debut for a team that he grew up rooting for. Now, a pitcher that not many fans had faith is now 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA to start the season.
The Mets needed a jump start and Mike Pelfrey delivered it. After giving up only two earned runs in his first start, Pelfrey through seven innings without giving up a run last night in a 6-0 win over the Washington Nationals.
David Wright, who had a stellar night with a home run and five RBI's, said that he always had faith in Pelfrey. "I think everyone in here knows Pelfrey has that in him," said Wright. (NY DAILY NEWS)
Pelfrey's confidence definitely showed last night. "I pitched with conviction. Just get it to the glove. No more nibbling. Here it is," Pelfrey said. (NEWYORKMETS.COM)
Pelfrey will pitch next in the highly anticipated series against the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend.
