Mets vs. Astros

Game 1: Steve Trachsel (1-3, 3.45) vs. Wade Miller (4-2, 4.50)

Jeff Bagwell added another highlight to his hall of fame career, hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th. The score was 3-1 going into the 7th, but Todd Zeile hit a homer to bring the score back to even. No one else reached base until Bagwell came up to bat. Wade Miller made few mistakes in 7 innings, but didn't get the win. Richard Hidalgo was benched in favor of Jason Lane, who went 1 for 3.

Astros 4, Mets 3
W: Fransisco Rodriguez (2-0)
L: David Weathers (3-2)
PoG: Wade Miller 7 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 10 K

Game 2: Tom Glavine (1-3, 3.51) vs. Andy Pettitte (4-3, 7.60)

Richard Hidalgo's benching wasn't a one-time thing, as Jason Lane once again took his place. At the same time, Andy Pettitte made his return to the rotation, and he didn't dissapoint. He went 8 innings only allowing 2 runs, but ended up with a no decision. The Astros scored runs in the 4th and 5th innings, but that's all they got. The Mets put up scores in the 4th, 8th, and 9th, and the Astros didn't have another miracle in stock like they did the day before.

Mets 3, Astros 2
W: Orber Moreno (3-1)
L: Brendan Donnelly (1-1)
S: David Weathers (7)
PoG: Cliff Floyd 2-4, HR, RBI, 2 R

Game 3: Jae Weong Seo (2-2, 5.45) vs. Roger Clemens (4-1, 3.59)

Richard Hidalgo was on the bench for a third straight day, with rumors about him flying through the clubhouse. Jason Lane filled in nicely, going 1-4 with a HR, which turned out to be the only Astro's run of the game. Mike Piazza got the scoring started in this one with an RBI single in the top of the first, and then continued with a 3-run bomb in the top of the third. The Mets scored 3 more in the 6th to run their lead to 7-0, and it was in the bottom of the 7th that Lane hit his homerun. Cliff Floyd hit a homer in the 8th to cap off the scoring.

Mets 8, Astros 1
W: Jae Weong Seo (3-2)
