Arizona 13 Mets 2 : It is an often repeated baseball axiom that momentum is nothing more than the next day’s starting pitcher. Unfortunately, that proved true for the Mets as any momentum they might have generated from Sunday’s win disappeared when Mike Pelfrey took the mound. Pelfrey was shelled, giving up four runs in a 51-pitch first inning and two more runs in the second, an inning he didn’t complete. Down 6-0, the Mets’ offense couldn’t do much. David Wright had two hits and Angel Pagan drove in their only run. Fernando Nieve gave up five more runs and the Mets fell to 1-4 since the All-Star break.
