Alright, Jeff Weaver came through for us big time last night. He got touched up for two runs in the fourth inning and for the briefest of moments the Mets had a 2-0 lead. The offense picked things up though and scored runs in each of fourth, fifth and sixth innings to give Weaver his second post season win.
It was a Jose Valentin double that scored the two runs that gave the Mets the lead. Then in the bottom of the fourth, Albert Pujols hit a solo shot and Ronnie Belliard singled home Scott Rolen to make it 2-2. In the fifth, Preston Wilson doubled home David Eckstein and then in the sixth, Chris Duncan hit a solo shot to make it 4-2, which ended up being the final.
Jeff Weaver threw six solid innings and he gave up the two runs on six hits and a walk. Josh Kinney, Randy Flores and Adam Wainwright then held the Mets scoreless in the final three frames to help out in the win.
There’s no travel day because of the rain out. Tonight will be our best chance to win this thing because we’ll have Chris Carpenter going up against John Maine. Our ace is on the mound so it’s imperative we get this done.
