Mike Pelfrey runs scoreless streak to 24 innings

On April 25 2010, Mike Pelfrey throws a rain-shortened five-inning shutout as the Mets complete a series sweep of the Braves, 1 – 0, at Citi Field. Pelfrey is in trouble all five innings, but manages to escape unscathed in extending his string of scoreless innings to 24. It is actually Raul Valdes who is on the mound for New York when the game is stopped in the top of the 6th, but everything after the 5th is wiped out, giving Pelfrey credit for a complete game. The game’s lone run comes when Jose Reyes runs wild in spite of the sloppy conditions, stealing second after a two-out bloop single in the 1st, and coming to score on Jason Bay’s infield single when 3B Chipper Jones’s throw skips away from 1B Troy Glaus just enough to allow Reyes to dash home.
