The Mets fell to 0-2 today with a 9-5 loss to the Reds. Starter Tom Glavine was ineffective and a Mets' ninth-inning rally was too little, too late.
Glavine allowed 9 hits and 5 earned runs before being lifted in the fourth inning. His day was made more difficult by non-calls from home plate ump Chuck Merriwether, one of the most inconsistent in the big leagues.
RECORD: 0-2
LOSS: Tom Glavine (0-1)
HOMERUN(S): Doug Mientkiewicz (1), David Wright (1)
TODAY'S HERO: David Wright (first homer of the year momentarily tied the game at 2-2)
TODAY'S GOAT: Tom Glavine (3.2 innings, 9 hits, 3 walks, 5 runs, loss) |

Pedro Martinez pitched one of his best games in years this afternoon, but it wasn't enough for the Mets to notch an Opening Day win.
The Mets fell behind 3-1 in the first, but rallied for a 6-4 lead after 7 innings. Mets fans were confident that a win was within reach when closer Braden Looper entered the game in the 9th. The Reds, however, rallied for three runs and a win against the New York reliever who gave up a two-run game-tying homerun to Adam Dunn and a solo game-winning shot to Joe Randa.
RECORD: 0-1
BLOWN SAVE: Braden Looper (0/1)
LOSS: Braden Looper (0-1)
HOMERUN(S): Kaz Matsui (1), Carlos Beltran (1), Cliff Floyd (1)
TODAY'S HERO: Pedro Martinez (6 innings, 3 hits, 12 strikeouts)
TODAY'S GOAT: Braden Looper (3 batters faced, 3 hits, 3 runs, blown save, loss) |
