Remember the days when we were salivating about a Black-Parnell combination at the back of the Mets' bullpen? Not so much anymore, as Black joined Parnell in giving up some late inning runs yesterday, allowing a ninth inning run that would prove the difference maker. Admittedly, the run was unearned, as Travis Taijeron bobbled a ball in the outfield, but still.
Darin Gorski turned in a very Darin Gorski start, allowing three runs over five innings. Iowa had Tsuyoshi Wada pitching for them, and the wily Japanese veteran was only slightly better, allowing one run over five-plus innings.
