Gallardo Gets No Support
Craig Counsell just missed a leadoff home run in the 1st, and a few other well hit balls were either grabbed by the Met's gloves or kept in the park as the Crew's hitting woes in day games at Miller continues. The damn shame was that Yovanni Gallardo's career high 12 strikeout performance was wasted because of a Ryan Church RBI single in the 6th. Mike Pelfrey kept the Mets from getting swept with a gem of a game: 7.2 innings, 6 hits, 2 walks, 6 Ks and 0 runs. In the 9th, Braun made things interesting by leading off the inning with a single off Frankie Rodriguez, but Fielder, Hart (who also grounded into a double play with 1st & 3rd in the 4th) and pinch hitter McGehee all failed to bring him around. I'm not sure why Ken Macha took Gamel out against K-Rod, but I guess he's not a slave to lefty-righty matchups.
