Break up the Mets!

The Amazin's have won two straight against the Cubbies.

Last night's victory came on and Angel Pagan 2-run homer in the 8th that put the Mets ahead 3-1. (They would win 4-1 after Ike Davis--appearing in his first major league game at first base--got his second hit and drove in a run--also in the 8th.) Jon Niese pitched well but didn't get the win when Nieve allowed an inherited runner to score.

Tonight they won 4-0 behind outstanding pitching by Mike Pelfrey and the resurrection of Jose Reyes (a two-RBI triple in the second inning and 4-for-5 for the night). The gravy came on a pinch-hit home run by Fernando Tatis with Ike Davis on first--again in the 8th inning.

Now, if David Wright and Jason Bay would only join the party....
