Wright, Reyes power Mets
The depleted Marlins were overwhelmed by the surging Mets on Friday night. The left side of the Mets infield, 3B David Wright and SS Jose Reyes, combined for 5 hits, 2 HRs and 5 RBI in the 9-3 win. Starter Steve Trachsel pitched 6 solid innings and also drove in a run with a double. RF Xavier Navy extended his hot start with 2 more hits and an outfield assist.
Next game: Saturday, April 8 @ Shea, 1:10 pm start on SNY & WFAN, Tom Glavine (1-0) vs. Dontrelle Willis (0-0). It's raining in New York today, so the game might either be delayed or postponed.

AROUND THE HORN
* The Yankees are off to a 1-3 start. Their home opener is on Tuesday vs. the Royals.
* Ex-Met Kris Benson lost his first start for the Orioles.
* Barry Bonds didn't play in last night's 14-6 loss to the Braves. In Friday's New York Daily News, T. J. Quinn reported that Bonds "bordered on pitiful" when he struck out in Thursday night's game vs. the Braves. "He flailed, leaving him staggering to catch his balance," Quinn wrote. "Most un-Bondslike." Bonds was intentionally walked twice. "When he was on base, he moved between bases the way most men in over-40 leagues do, like he was trying not to rupture something. In the outfield he had the range of Frankenstein... Bonds look decidedly unhealthy... He looks like he's hurting." Bonds has yet to hit a HR this season. He's stuck on 708 lifetime, 6 shy of Babe Ruth.
