The big story from this game was that Carlos Delgado crushed the ball today. He slammed two home run's against the Braves. His first home run was to the opposite field and his second home run was hit off of the scoreboard. It was great after Delgado hit his first home run of the game, Journey's hit single 1981 "Don't Stop Believin'" was heard throughout Shea. The fan's were screaming for a curtian call after he hit his second home run, but Carlos wouldn't come out.

David Wright finally broke up his 0 for 19 slump on Saturday. He had two hits and an RBI single in the 6th inning to push the Mets lead from 4-3 to 5-3.

Nelson Figueroa had a nice start for the Mets today. As always, Figgy threw a lot of strikes behind his family and friends in Billy Wagner's suite. In his 5 1/3 innings of work, Nelson gave up 7 hits and 3 walks while striking out 3 batters and allowing 3 runs. After Figueroa's day was over, the bullpen was able to hold the Braves to 2 hits in 3 2/3 innings.

Billy Wagner came in to close out the game for the Mets in the 9th inning. Wagner retired the first batter, then gave up the first hit of his young season on a single to right field to pinch hitter Matt Diaz. Billy then got Kelly Johnson to fly out to left. Wagner locked up the game when he got Gregor Blanco to strike out looking.
