The Fish Fry the Mets in Series Finale

Well, so much for the sweep. The Mets got pounded by the Marlins today by a score of 8-2, as Mike Pelfrey continues to struggle against the fish. Second Baseman Dan Uggla had two doubles and three RBIs, Left Fielder Luis Gonzalez and First Baseman Mike Jacobs each homered and Catcher Matt Treanor had a run scoring single.

The Mets had won nine of Pelfrey's last 10 starts coming in, but he gave up six runs in 4 2/3 innings in this one. The Marlins have scored at least five runs in each of his three starts against them this season."I think I made some bad pitches," Pelfrey said. "I made some stupid pitches, and when I did they made me pay for them.

On an injury note, Mets closer Billy Wagner is on track throw a couple of innings at Class A Brooklyn next weekend as he rehabs from a strained left forearm. He's scheduled to return from the DL on Aug. 18.
