Walks City, Win 6-4

The Mets salvaged the third game with the Diamondbacks with a 6-4 victory in front of 22,320 D-Back faithful. The Mets scored 3 in the 6th, and carried a 3-1 lead into the seventh. Oliver Perez went 5.1, walked 6, k'ed 7, and gave up 6 hits, but only 1 run. But in the seventh, Sean Green and Pedro Feliciano conspired to blow the lead, and make it 3-3. But, the Mets scored twice in the 8th (Castillo single, Sullivan triple), and even though Blow-Rod made it interesting in the 9th, the Mets came away with the victory.
Jeff Francoeur walked twice. One was intentional, the other wasn't.

Stupid Decision of the Day: Putting Sean Green in. He sucks. Stop using him, Jerry.
Random Thought of the Day: Why didn't Angel Pagan start?
Clutch play of the Game: Castillo RBI single in 8th, +24.4%WPA
Up Next for the Mets: Off day, then home to Citi. Giants vs Mets, 7:10 PM
