Hernandez struggles as Braves rout Mets <h3>ATLANTA 13, NY METS 5</h3>By Larry Fleisher PA Sportsticker Contributing Editor FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- When Orlando Hernandez went fora cortisone shot in his ailing foot, this was not the result heor the New York Mets anticipated. Hernandez lasted just three-plus innings and labored through hisworst outing of the season as the Mets were dealt a 13-5 lossby the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. Hernandez (9-5) pitched for the first time since August 30 atPhiladelphia. In the final game of New York's four-game sweepto the Phillies, he allowed five runs and six hits over threeinnings and the Mets saw their lead in the National League Eastreduced to two games. The veteran righthander missed his last turn through therotation with a sore tendon in his right foot. He reported noproblems and returned for the second of this three-game series. While Hernandez was recovering, the Mets (82-62) won 10 of 11games to take control of the division, which they lead by sixgames. Hernandez was unable to help the Mets win their fifth ina row as he struggled through his second shortest outing of theseason. After escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first, Hernandezallowed a run in the second and two more in the third. Hecompletely fell apart in the fourth as he allowed the first fivehitters to reach in a six-run inning. Atlanta starter Buddy Carlyle had an RBI single and KellyJohnson ended Hernandez's night with a two-run base hit. AfterAaron Sele recorded the first two outs, Mark Teixiera hit athree-run home run, which officially turned the contest into arout. Two of the runs on Teixiera's 12th home run as a Brave werecharged to Hernandez, who allowed a season-worst eight runs onsix hits and four walks. Carlyle, who was coming of his shortest career outing a week agoagainst the Phillies, allowed three runs and six hits over 41/3 innings. Peter Moylan (5-3) registered the win afterrecording the final two outs of the fifth and a scoreless sixth. Yunel Escobar also homered for Atlanta (74-71), which trails theSan Diego Padres (77-65) by 4 1/2 games in the wild card race.San Diego is hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers later Tuesday butis among the six teams ahead of the Braves. New York scored three in the fourth as Paul Lo Duca hit atwo-run home run. The Mets knocked out Carlyle with one out inthe fifth after he walked David Wright.

Hernandez struggles as Braves rout Mets <h3>ATLANTA 13, NY METS 5</h3>By Larry Fleisher PA Sportsticker Contributing Editor FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- When Orlando Hernandez went fora cortisone shot in his ailing foot, this was not the result heor the New York Mets anticipated. Hernandez lasted just three-plus innings and labored through hisworst outing of the season as the Mets were dealt a 13-5 lossby the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

The veteran righthander missed his last turn through therotation with a sore tendon in his right foot. He reported noproblems and returned for the second of this three-game series. "My control today (was) not good," Hernandez said. "It (thefoot) feels good. I'm feeling good, the only thing is mycontrol." "He's fine," Mets manager Willie Randolph said. "He missedlocation. Obviously you're used to seeing him hit spots most ofthe year." While Hernandez was recovering, the Mets (82-62) won 10 of 11games to take control of the division, which they lead by sixgames. Hernandez was unable to help the Mets win their fifth ina row as he struggled through his second shortest outing of theseason. It was Hernandez's first loss since July 4 at Colorado. Beforegetting pounded in his last two starts, he had won his previousfive decisions and this outing was attributed to inactivity bycatcher Paul Lo Duca. "I think he might have been a little hesitant (with the foot),"Lo Duca said. "But then I asked him and he said it feels fine.He's such a feel pitcher, kind of guy, throws his breakingball. When you haven't thrown in 11 days, it really makes ittougher. So I really feel this is one of those outings." After escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first, Hernandezallowed a run in the second and two more in the third. Hecompletely fell apart in the fourth as he allowed the first fivehitters to reach in a six-run inning. Atlanta starter Buddy Carlyle had an RBI single and KellyJohnson ended Hernandez's night with a two-run base hit.

Two of the runs on Teixiera's 12th home run as a Brave werecharged to Hernandez, who allowed a season-worst eight runs onsix hits and four walks. "I think for him his control was a little off tonight," Atlantaright fielder Jeff Francouer said. "We tried to take advantageof it. We did a pretty good job of taking pitches, working himdeep in the counts and frustrating him a little bit." Carlyle, who was coming of his shortest career outing a week agoagainst the Phillies, allowed three runs and six hits over 41/3 innings. Peter Moylan (5-3) registered the win afterrecording the final two outs of the fifth and a scoreless sixth. Yunel Escobar also homered for Atlanta (74-71), which trails theSan Diego Padres (77-65) by 4 1/2 games in the wild card race.San Diego is hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers later Tuesday butis among the six teams ahead of the Braves. "We got to reel off a bunch of wins," Atlanta manager Bobby Coxsaid. "We wanted to come in here and sweep and get back in itsomewhat. If we can get it back down to 6 1/2, we'll see whathappens. There's no sure thing in this game." New York scored three in the fourth as Paul Lo Duca hit atwo-run home run. The Mets knocked out Carlyle with one out inthe fifth after he walked David Wright. Wright added an RBI double in the seventh frame but Atlantascored three more runs in the eighth.
