The Happy Recap: Mets 4, Phillies 3
You see? You win two out of three against the Phillies and all is right with the world. Almost.
Jose Reyes had two hits and sparked the winning rally with a two-out double in the 12th, scoring on yet another clutch hit by Angel Pagan. The play at the plate was close, sure, thanks to a strong throw by Werth, but if anything the tag came simultaneously with Reyes touching home plate.
Anyway, in the 12th inning of a getaway game, you know the umpire wants to end it. Chew on that, Charlie Manuel.
The good: Pagan looks like a steal, Ryan Church continues to impress, and the bullpen -- with one glaring exception -- was terrific. Even Scott Schoeneweis, who got a key double-play grounder, got some love from the crowd, leaving to cheers.
The bad: Aaron "Two-Run" Heilman, so named because he seems to allow two runs whenever he enters a game. He also keeps giving up bombs like the one Ryan Howard hit toward Citi Field. He blew a victory for John Maine, who was cruising through five innings before running into trouble in the sixth.
Duaner Sanchez can't get here soon enough.
Jorge Sosa got the win after throwing one pitch for the final out in the top of the 12th. Carlos Beltran and David Wright struggled at the plate. Wright's clump continues, and Beltran came up empty in two situations with runners on.
Up next, the Brewers and, apparently, a lot of rain. Bring your ponchos.
