Mets Waste Solid Start By Capuano

The Mets drop the series opener to the Rockies, 2-1.

• Chris Capuano 6.2 innings, giving up two runs on five hits, while striking out four and walking three. He also allowed the go-ahead run in the seventh after Chris Iannetta hit a solo shot to left field.

• Jason Bay scored the Mets only run in the sixth inning after Ian Stewart committed a throwing error.

• Willie Harris remains a Met killer. After getting on base with a pinch-hit single, Harris got caught stealing at second base.

• The Mets were 0-7 with runners in scoring position. They left ten men on base and left the bases loaded twice.

Next up: The Mets send Mike Pelfrey to the mound as they continue their series against the Rockies at Coors Field tomorrow. Game time is 8:40 p.m.
