Mets 11 - Orioles 4
Brian Bannister kept his stock rising with a very impressive 4 innings against Baltimore. He allowed no runs on only 1 hit, walking none while striking out 2. Matt Perisho and Heath Bell did not fare as well following Bannister. Both pitched an inning, with Perisho giving up 3 runs on 3 hits and a walk, while Bell got touched up for a run on 2 hits. Chad Bradford, Royce Ring and Billy Wagner followed with scoreless frames.
Cliff Floyd and David Wright had 2-hit games with home runs in the fourth inning for the Mets. Floyd had 4 RBIs and Wright 3, while Kaz Matsui went 1-3 with 2 RBIs.
Aaron Heilman will pitch against the Nationals in Viera tomorrow afternoon.
