Tom Glavine beat his former team by retiring his last 17 hitters as the Braves beat the Mets in the afternoon game of a day-night doubleheader.

The Braves’ Yunel Escobar led off with a double off of John Maine to up the NoNoHitters.com count to 7,362.

Braves catcher Brian McCann singled to right in the second inning Sunday to move the NoNoHitters.com count to 7,344 New York Mets games without a no hitter.

The Mets won 6-3 thanks to a pair of Carlos Delgado homers, but Billy Wagner’s streak of nine consecutive no-hit innings came to an end when the Mets closer gave up a line-drive single to right to Matt Diaz with one out in the ninth. Wagner went on to finish off the next two batters to get his sixth save of the season.

Nelson Figueroa got the start for the Mets and lasted 5 1/3 innings while giving up 3 earned runs, 7 hits and 3 walks while striking out 3.

Mets’ closer Billy Wagner has just completed a no hitter. Unfortunately, he’ll get no credit for the accomplishment in the Major League Baseball record books, as it was pitched during nine separate games.

Wagner pitched a no-hit ninth inning for the Mets Saturday to save the game for John Maine, his ninth hitless inning in a row. Wagner has made nine appearances this season, all during Mets wins, and in each he’s pitched one inning giving up no hits (and no earned runs).

Here’s the rundown:

April 26 against Atlanta, Mets win 4-3, save
April 23 against Washington, Mets win 7-2
April 19 against Philadelphia, Mets win 4-2, save
April 18 against Philadelphia, Mets win 6-4, save
April 17 against Washington, Mets win 3-2
April 16 against Washington, Mets win 5-2, save
April 11 against Milwaukee, Mets win 4-2, save
April 10 against Philadelphia, Mets win 4-3
April 2 against Florida, Mets win 13-0

Congrats Billy! With the NoNoHitters.com count at 7,343 and counting, this might be as close as we get to the real thing for a while.

Mark Teixeira broke up a no hitter for the second game in a row, this time with a first-inning RBI double to left center off John Maine. That raises the NoNoHitters.com count to 7,343 New York Mets games without a no hitter.

Maine held the Atlanta Braves to just three hits, two earned runs and three walks in his five innings of work. Maine also struck out seven.

The Atlanta Braves’ Mark Teixeira got an RBI single to center off Mike Pelfrey in the first inning Friday night to bump the NoNoHitters.com count to 7,342 New York Mets games without a no hitter.

Pelfrey gave up 9 hits and 5 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings, taking his first loss of the season.

The Atlanta Braves’ Matt Diaz singled to center off Johan Santana in the second inning Sunday to push the NoNoHitters.com count up to 7,325 games.

On the other side of the ball, it was Santana - new to the National League - who got the first hit off of the game off of veteran John Smoltz. Santana led off the third inning with a double off Smotlz, but the Mets couldn’t get him home. Smoltz yielded just two hits in five innings of work.

Santana left the game for a pinch hitter in the top of the eighth. He had another strong outing, yielding just one run and seven hits in 7 innings of work.

But, Mets lose 3-1.

Tonight’s game between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves has been postponed due to rain, so our count will remain static for another day.

The game will be made up May 20 as part of a day night doubleheader.

John Maine was scheduled to get the start for the Mets, and I assume he’ll get the ball on Saturday instead. We’ll see how that affects the rest of the rotation.
