Coney Island native Nelson Figueroa was very impressive in his New
York Mets debut.  He had a  no  hitter  through  five  innings  and 
ended  up with  a  solid  six  inning  performance  yielding  just 
two  runs  on  two  hits.

It was a very emotional evening for Figueroa as  he  had  over  100 
friends and  family  in  attendance.  “I thought I was going to lose
it,” he said. “I really did. It was just
the culmination of everything — the intensity of the game. This
journey has been so incredible, and to go out there and put forth that
kind of a performance … it’s storybook-like.”

He got the win as the Mets topped  the  Milwakee  Brewers  4-2. 
Billy  Wagner  pitched  a  1-2-3  ninth  to notch  the  save….the 
bull pen  has  been  lights  out  the  past  two  games,  lets  hope 
it  continues.

The Mets and Brewers go at it again today at 1:05 in a marquee
pitching match up; Ben Sheets goes for Milwakee and Johan Santana makes
his long awaited Shea Stadium debut. There will be plenty of excitement
today.

Quick hits:

• the first 25,000 fans will receive a city field cap today
• Duaner  Sanchez  may join the Mets as early as Tuesday
• Carlos Beltran had seven doubles in the Mets first six games
