A Week of Wins
The Mets, despite issuing nine walks, hold the Rockies to one run as they win their seventh in a row 2-1. Oliver Perez walked six and struck out seven in six innings of work, and only allowed two hits. The Mets bullpen walked three more and struck out four, but only allowed one hit. The Rockies were 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position and left ten men on base, and despite all the walks, their only run came on a solo homer.
The Mets pitching has been outstanding during the streak, allowing just nineteen runs and throwing two shutouts. In the one bad game they threw, allowing nine runs, the Mets scored ten. New York scored 44 runs in the seven games.
