Marlins’ Vazquez ends Mets’ win streak at four

Javier Vazquez certainly can handle pitching in New York, just not for the home team.

The two-time Yankees flop, now with the Marlins, stuck it to the Mets last night, making it two superb performances for Vazquez at Citi Field in less than a month.

The combo of Vazquez and a brutal seventh inning for Mike Pelfrey spelled the end of a Mets’ winning streak that had reached four games. The Marlins sent 10 batters to the plate in the seventh, scored five runs and sent the Mets to a 6-0 loss.

Vazquez (8-11) lowered his ERA to 0.64 in two starts at Citi Field this season. The veteran righty allowed only three hits — all of them singles — over seven shutout innings last night.

BOX SCORE

Pelfrey (7-11) is winless in his past 16 starts against the Marlins since beating them in his major league debut in 2006.

“I actually thought it was more than that — it feels like more,” Pelfrey said. “Maybe I’m cursed. I don’t know.”

Pelfrey took a shutout into the seventh, but never recorded an out in the inning and was charged for four earned runs. The big hit was Logan Morrison’s two-run single off Nick Evans’ glove, but the Mets had a key lapse earlier in the inning.

Vazquez laid down a sacrifice bunt with runners on first and second. David Wright and Evans converged on the ball, and first base was left uncovered by Justin Turner, who was running a pickoff play at second. Pelfrey took responsibility for the play, saying he should have stepped off the rubber.

Emilio Bonifacio delivered an RBI single before Greg Dobbs’ groundout against Tim Byrdak made it 2-0. After Morrison’s two-run single, Gaby Sanchez made it 5-0 with a two-out single. Mike Stanton homered in the ninth against D.J. Carrasco for the final run.

Dobbs went to Elmhurst Hospital to visit Eli Shalomoff, the 12-year-old who was hit in the face by Dobbs’ line drive Monday while sitting near the Mets’ dugout.

Shalomoff was released from the hospital last night, according to a hospital spokesman.

Dobbs said Shalamoff also has a broken nose and a fractured sinus. But he said doctors do not anticipate any permanent damage.

Miguel Bautista’s Mets debut will come tomorrow, when the 40-year-old righty faces the Marlins. Chris Capuano will remain on schedule and pitch tonight for the Mets.
