In addition to pitching seven shutout innings against the Padres last night, Orlando Hernandez stole a base and scored a run. The stolen base was a bit historic:

El Duque (6-4) became the first pitcher since 1967 to steal bases in consecutive games and the first Mets hurler in that span to have two steals in a season. Tom Seaver, who stole bases in back-to-back games that year, was the last to hold both distinctions. Hernandez surrendered just two hits - doubles by Adrian Gonzalez in the first and fourth innings.

The Mets defeated the Padres 7-0. The stone cold Carloses (Beltran and Delgado) picked up two hits each, both of Beltran's going for doubles.
