Posted May 31, 200915 yr NEW YORK -- Even when not feeling his best, Josh Johnson is still pretty impressive. Pitching with an upset stomach on Saturday afternoon, Johnson allowed two runs on five hits with five strikeouts over seven solid innings, and Jeremy Hermida belted a three-run homer as the Marlins defeated the Mets, 7-3, at Citi Field. Some sort of bug was floating around the clubhouse as Hermida also was dealing with congestion. Also, Wes Helms didn't play because he was hampered by flu-like symptoms. A win certainly lifted the Marlins' spirits, as they rebounded from Friday's 2-1 loss in 11 innings to improve to 3-2 on their two-city road trip, which wraps up on Sunday. "It's like a stomach something," said Johnson, who took Pepto-Bismol and other medication during the game. "I guess a couple of people aren't feeling too good here. I don't know if something got passed on." flamarlins.com The Mets will try everything to win (I am not being serious). I really hope Volstad doesnt catch anything tonight.
May 31, 200915 yr Yeah but how stupid do the Mets feel knowing they got beat by a pitcher who had a case of the runs...
