JUPITER, Fla. - Aaron Heilman had not pitched in a week, while he allowed elbow tendinitis to calm down. When the primary set-up man to Billy Wagner finally returned to Grapefruit League action last night, he tossed a dominating inning in a 5-4 loss to the Marlins.

Heilman needed only 14 pitches - and threw 12 strikes - in the sixth inning while consecutively retiring Josh Willingham on a groundout and Mike Jacobs and Jeremy Hermida with strikeouts.

BACK IN THE SWING
STRUGGLING GREEN HITTING HIS SPRING STRIDE AT LAST
By MICHAEL MORRISSEY

March 17, 2007 -- JUPITER, Fla. - Shawn Green found a hitch in his swing this winter, which was a topic of much conversation last month. The assumption was it would be fixed quickly.

And then Green began the spring 0-for-15.

Now, the Mets right fielder finally has found some rhythm at the plate, as Thursday night's 2-for-2 effort in a 4-1 victory over Boston showed. In the fourth inning, Green roped a Josh Beckett fastball over the 410-foot center-field fence at Tradition Field. The prodigious poke was his second home run in three games.

SHAWN 'EM HOW: Shawn Green hadn't found his batting stroke until just recently, but the Mets right fielder is sending the ball out of the park again.

HEILMAN 'SUPERB' IN RETURN TO THE MOUND
By MICHAEL MORRISSEY

March 17, 2007 -- JUPITER, Fla. - Aaron Heilman hadn't pitched since March 9 due to elbow tendinitis, but his return was pretty much perfect.

Heilman mowed down the Marlins in order in the sixth inning of the Mets' 5-4 loss last night. Relieving Tom Glavine, Heilman threw 12 of his 14 pitches for strikes, whiffing Mike Jacobs and Jeremy Hermida.

"He was superb," manager Willie Randolph said. "That was easy. That was bing, bang, boom. It was nice to see him back out there."
