Andre Pallante allowed three hits and two runs over six innings with two walks and five strikeouts to earn the win in a lopsided 9-2 win over the Mets on Wednesday.

Pallante settled into this one nicely after being spotted a big lead early. He consistently challenged the Mets hitters with fastballs in the zone and they could not do much with them. In all, he forced 10 ground balls out of 16 total balls in play in his third quality start out of his last five outings. He now has a 3.88 ERA to go along with 56 strikeouts and 25 walks through 69 2/3 innings this season. Next up, Pallante is scheduled to face the Padres at home.
