Joe Smith and Scott Schoeneweis

....Joe Smith has really lost his touch...

Jose Reyes and Lastings Milledge

Each of them hit a solo homer. Reyes also scored another run and had a stolen base.

He really tamed the Mets hot offense.

The Rest Of The Game

Guillermo Mota finished off the game going 2 innings 1-hitting the Pirates while striking out 2.
Xavier Nady had a clutch 2 run single (some revenge on the Mets)

Former Yankee Josh Phelps hit a 2 run homer.

Closer Matt Capps finished off the 9th pitching a perfect 9th while striking out 2.

Lastings Milledge wasn't hit...

Ramon Casto got thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double.

At least we took 2 out of 3 from the Pirates.

Hopefully we can win the series against the Nationals coming up next...
