The Mets have won nine of their last ten games, the latest coming tonight in a 5-4 victory against the Braves to finish off a three game sweep of the once mighty NL East dominators. Carlos Delgado had 5 hits tonight. The five hits matched a career high that was set when he was a member of the Blue Jays back on May 7, 1998 against the Mariners at the now imploded Kingdome.
David Wright also had a good game for the Mets, as he went 3 for 4, hitting his 25th homer of the season, and two doubles. Luis Ayala pitched 1 1/3 shutout innings for the Mets, to earn his first win since being acquired from the Nationals on Sunday. With the win, the Mets increased their NL East lead to 2 1/2 games over Philadelphia, who lost 4-3 to Washington tonight.
On an injury note, New York Right Fielder Ryan Church (post-concussion syndrome) played another rehab game for Double-A Binghamton on Thursday night going 0-4. He could be back in the lineup Friday against Houston.
