Game 5: Montreal 5, New York (N) 3

We take game two of the series by a final of 5-3. SP Javier Vazquez pitched another strong game but this time he picked up the win. He pitched six innings, gave up four hits, one earned run, walked two and struck out three. CF Roger Cedeno leadoff the bottom of the 1st with a double. He would reach third on a sac fly from RF Timo Perez and would score on a ground out by LF Cliff Floyd, putting the Mets up 1-0. Mets SP Aaron Heilman would hold us scoreless until the top of the 7th. RF Vladimir Guerrero leadoff the inning with a solo homerun (2). Heilman would get C Michael Barrett to fly out before plunking 1B Brad Wilkerson with a pitch. Frank Robinson would bring in PR Orlando Cabrera to run for Wilkerson and Cabrera would steal second. Heilman would intentionally walk PH Brian Schneider to get to 3B Jose Macias. That turned out to be a mistake, because Macias triples down the rightfield line and it scored Cabrera and Schneider and gave us a 3-1 lead. We would get to Heilman again in the top of the 8th. CF Endy Chavez leadoff the inning with a single to left-center. 2B Jose Vidro would sac bunt him over to second. Heilman would again issue an intentionally walk to Guerrero. Heilman would throw a wild pitch and both runners moved up a base. Barrett got a pitch he could handle and singled to the gap in right-center, scoring both runners and putting us up 5-1. Heilman would be charged with a five runs. RP Dan Smith, making his first appearance of the season, came in to pitch the 8th. PH Raul Gonzalez leadoff with a single. Smith then got Cedeno to ground into a fielders choice and Gonzalez was out a second. Cedeno would advance to second on a Perez ground out to second. So with two outs, Smith gives up a single to Floyd that would score Cedeno. Robinson would pull Smith and bring in RP Joey Eischen to face C Mike Piazza. Eischen would walk Piazza and give up a run scoring single to PH Tsuyoshi Shinjo, cutting our lead to 5-3. That would be all the scoring though, as CL Scott Stewart gets the Mets in order in the 9th for his 3rd save.
