Wang pitched two innings and allowed two runs on three hits. Wang had an easy first inning, retiring the side in order, while throwing just 14 pitches. The second inning was a different story, however, as the Mets scored two runs and Wang threw 28 pitches. It didn't help that he had problems with his sinker. "The outing was OK, but sometimes the ball was too low and not in the strike zone. Next time, I'll work in the bullpen more," Wang said. "In the second inning, the sinker [was up] and too low." Talk to manager Davey Johnson about Wang's outing, and he will tell you the ball came out of Wang's hand free and easy. Johnson said Wang's fastball was clocked in the low-90s. "I was impressed with Chien-Ming," Johnson said. "In the past, early in the game, [his fastball] would be in the 80s. I could tell from the get-go, he was around 90 or above. He had great life, great movement. His command, I'm sure, wasn't where he wanted it, but he was awful close. He threw some good curveballs. He wanted to build arm strength. That's what he did. ... From what I'm seeing now, he is pretty much making the trip all the way back." Johnson also hinted that Wang would be his fifth starter. "When you think of it as, in the back end of the rotation having a Chien-Ming Wang with his experience and what he's throwing now, you know," Johnson said.
