So close, but yet so far. After getting shutdown by Brett Myers, who struck out 10 through eight, and gave up just three hits, the Mets had a chance to tie the ball game up at three in the bottom of the ninth when they had both Carlos Beltran and Ryan Church up. However, Brad Lidge converted his 34th save in as many chances after getting both men to fly out to cut the Met's NL East lead down to just two games. The loss was only the 6th in the last 23 games for the Mets.
The Phillies got their runs thanks to a Chase Utley ground out in the first that scored Shane Victorino who also singled in the inning, stole second, and went to third on an overthrow by Brian Schneider into center field on a throw that Jose Reyes didn't even attempt to catch. Then in the seventh, Greg Dobbs hit a two-run homer off of Mike Pelfrey that was almost brought back in by Ryan Church.

I only got to see the highlights. Myers looked great. Dobbs' homer was mere inches over the fence.
We got one back. Maybe the Mets can once and for all lose two straight to us. lol
I'm sensing Moyer and Pedro take a beating tomorrow...
15-12 Phillies
haha
Yea, Matt. He pitched really well. Made them look silly. Castillo who never strikes out, struck out three times looking. By the way, reverse that score. It'll be 15-12 Mets. They always bounce back well. lol
