I guess Pelfrey entered the Citizens Bank Park marathon. After going 6 innings, giving up 8 runs on 3 homers, 10 hits and a walk, Pelfrey decided to go running. He had a 7.3% swinging strike percentage. So, despite the Mets scoring 4 runs in the first, he left with the Mets in a 8-4 hole.
It was 9-5 in the 8th, when Tatis doubled, and then David Wright decided to have some payback on Brett Myers, and homered. Daniel Murphy's single scored Beltran to make it 9-8. However in the eighth, Sean Green and Pedro Feliciano loaded the bases. No worry though, as Feliciano struck out Howard to end the inning. In the 9th Tatis singled with 2 outs, and then Wright hit another homer to make it 10-9. In the bottom of the 9th, K-Rod went 1,2,3 on the Phillies, striking out 2 to get his 31st save. This game does show what might've been; The Phillies are still going to win the division, but its nice to win this game. Mets elimination number is 4.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Using Takahashi against the lefties. He gave up 2 hits, a run and got his out on a fly out. He faced 3 lefties; this year lefties are batting .311/.407/.511. JERRY DO YOU READ THE STAT HANDOUTS THEY GIVE YOU? Elmer Dessens holds lefties to .188/.286/.354 line. And he wasn't used yesterday.
Random Thought of the Day: Beltran, Tatis, and Wright went a combined 10/15 with 3 homers, 8 rbi's, 8 runs, and 20 total bases. That's a .667/.667/1.333 line. For a 2.000 OPS. Pretty damn good.
Clutch Play of the Game: David Wright 2 run homer. +.723 WPA (72%!!!!)
