 WASHINGTON (AP) - Billy Traber performed precisely the way the New York Mets figured he would when they made the lefty a first-round draft pick back in 2000.
Unfortunately for the Mets, Traber was on the mound for the Nationals on Friday night, and he outdueled Tom Glavine in Washington's 2-1 victory over New York, which had won five consecutive games.
Traber (2-1) pitched into the eighth inning, allowing one run and four hits with no walks, to earn his eighth career major league win. That's 279 fewer than Glavine (12-5), who was almost as good: He allowed Brian Schneider's two-run double in the second, and that was pretty much it.
