McAndrew Selected NL's Best Pitcher

New York Mets starter Jim McAndrew has collected the National League Pitcher of the Month award for a run of lights-out performances.

"This town really appreciates it when you're going well," said McAndrew. "They might boo you when you're getting knocked around, but they love you when you're mowin' them down."

In May the 26-year-old compiled a 6-0 record in 6 starts with a 1.38 ERA. He threw 52 innings, fanning 29 while walking 10.

So far this year, McAndrew has 10 wins and 1 loss and a 2.14 ERA.

McAndrew rung up 6 strikeouts and surrendered 2 walks in the game.

"We couldn't get anything going. He certainly had our number," Montreal manager <Gene Mauch:coach#15> told reporters.
