(by Brett Kahn)As I was uncorking a bottle of wine that I bought, I instantly had a thought. Was this the reason the Mets were hitting so well lately? It worked for Sammy. Ok so maybe the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff isn't stellar, but the Mets haven't been hitting anyone all season so pardon me for being a little suspicious. Regardless, the Mets took two of three in two days against the Reds, and they did so with the bats.
-Carlos Beltran may have found his stroke having batted .455 (5/11) with 8 RBI's in the series. His batting averaged raised from .218 to .240.
-I mentioned a little while ago about the direct correlation between the top of the order and the offense. Today, Jose Reyes and Luis Castillo went 5-for-8 at the top of the order as the Mets piled on eight runs.
-Brian Schneider's home run yesterday was his first extra-base hit of the season. (21 1B and 1 HR)
-Carlos Delgado also batted .455 (5/11) in the series raising his batting average from .216 to .236.
-Scott Schoeneweis pitched 1 2/3 innings in relief today lowering his stellar ERA to 1.50
