Game Notes
- Along with leading the majors in batting average for the month of May, David Wright also leads the majors in batting average on the road for the season (.437).
- The Mets' bullpen still leads the majors with a 2.83 ERA, while the Mets' offense is first in batting average and tied for first with Los Angeles in on-base percentage. Yet, the Mets cannot score runs because of their lack of power.
- Daniel Murphy is making his first big-league start at first base tonight. Should be interesting...cross your fingers.
