Jae Seo and Scott Elarton each pitched four shutout innings, but a nearly two-hour rain delay knocked them out with very similar lines:
Seo: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 W, 6 K, 52 pitches
Elarton: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 W, 4 K, 53 pitches
The Mets bullpen outpitched the Indians bullpen, with the Tribe’s allowing at least one run in each inning and the Mets tossing zeroes until the ninth.
A couple substitutes to note: Gonzalez pinch-hit for the pitcher’s spot leading off the Cleveland sixth. My first thought was that this was Andy Gonzalez, but I knew he had come along much later, so I had to look up that it was Raul Gonzalez, who appeared in seven games for the ‘04 Indians and had slipped my memory. It was his final big league stint; his most extended playing time had come with the ‘03 Mets. And the recently deceased Gerald Williams, serving as a defensive replacement for Cliff Floyd in the top of the ninth.
