7/1--Milwaukee, WI. Ryan Church singled Luis Castillo home in the 5th inning for the only run in today's game and that was enough to defeat the Brewers 1-0. Mike Pelfrey looked great over his 7.2 innings of work allowing 6 hits and striking out 6. He walked only 2. This was a very encouraging sign for Pelfrey to get him and the team back on track. If he can be consistent like this every time out, it will give the tam a much needed boost while they are waiting for Beltran, Delgado, Putz, Pagan, Perez and Reyes to get healthy. Consistent pitching like that is what will help get the Mets past they're current shortcomings. This is especially important coming into the next 4 games. 1 with Pittsburgh and 3 with the NL East leading Phillies.
Yovani Gallardo was great in his own right today, striking out 12 in his 7 innings.
Francisco Rodriguez picked up his 21st save with a strong 9th.
On to Pittsburgh tomorrow where a win is essential to bring the Mets back to .500 and have them on somewhat of a role going into Philadelphia.
