7/16--Atlanta,GA. Oliver Perez did not look bad on the mound in his first start back from the All-Stra break and second since coming off the DL. Perez went 6 innings allowing 3 earned runs on 5 hits. He walked 4 and struck out 6. He kept his team in the game as he exited in a 3-3 tie.
The Braves took the lead in the 7th on a Chipper Jones (who else?) RBI single off of Bobby Parnell. Parenell has really been struggling over the better part of a month or so. His command just is not where it was at the beginning of the year. Maybe a minor league stint of a week or 2 to help his command issues would be a help to the team in the long run.
Raphael Soriano looked great for Atlanta pitching a scoreless 9th to earn the save.
Reading metsblog.com I noticed that Michael Baron mentioned that Alex Cora is 7 for his last 39 over the last 10 games. Maybe the torn ligament in his thumb is bothering him at the moment, effecting his hitting. Maybe Angel Berroa, who was just signed on Saturday, should get a chance at short for a game or two to give Cora some time to feel better physically and mentally. Fernando Tatis could also play short if the mets want to do that to Give Cora a game or two off.
Berroa was 3/22 with an RBI for the Yankees this season.
Tonight Mike Pelfrey is on the mound for the Mets to be opposed by Jair Jurrjens for the Braves.
