| KELLY STRIKES OUT 7 IN LOSS TO METS |
Casey Kelly admittedly left one fastball up and Mets power hitter Zach Lutz made him pay with a 2nd inning HR over the Maine Monster. Kelly pitched effectively again with his fastball touching 94 MPH on the radar gun. He had a season high 7 strike outs, allowed 3 earned runs and threw 82 pitches, 47 which were strikes.
Santo Luis relieved Kelly and promptly gave up 4 runs in the 6th inning.
Youngster Jose Iglasias had his best night at the plate going 4 - 4 including his 8th double of the season.
