Key Mets hits were Daniel Murphy's RBI double in the first and Anthony Recker's RBI double in the third, but much of the offensive success came from watching Hale implode. In addition to the wild pitches, he hit a batter and walked two.
The lone run off Verrett, who has made 12 total appearances and has given up one run in the last 18 2/3 innings, was Carlos Gonzalez's home run to dead center to lead off the fourth.
