Baseball Reference:
Mike Pelfrey throws a rain-shortened
five-inning shutout
as the Mets
complete a series sweep of the Braves, 1 - 0, at Citi
Field. Pelfrey is in trouble all five innings, but manages to escape
unscathed in extending his string of scoreless innings to 24. It is actually Raul Valdes who is on the mound for New York
when the game is stopped in the top of the 6th, but everything after the 5th is
wiped out, giving Pelfrey credit for a complete game. The game's lone run comes when Jose
Reyes runs wild in spite of the sloppy conditions, stealing second
after a two-out bloop single in the 1st, and coming to score on Jason
Bay's infield single when 3B Chipper Jones's throw skips away from 1B Troy
Glaus just enough to allow Reyes to dash home.
