Mets Win on the Other Foot as Beltran Draws Walk-off Walk

What comes around goes around as the saying goes. So it was nice to see the Mets win a game in a fashion that they usually lose with. Fresh in their minds of a recent "walk off" walk loss, the Mets turned the tables this time as they came out on the winning end of such a play.


Carlos Beltran worked out a 10th inning walk off walk to help the Mets beat the Braves 4-3, with KRod getting his first win as a New York Met. Now we all know the term "walk off" is getting way overused - after all, every game won by the home team in an extra inning game is a walk off win by definition. Walk offs are not rare.

But walk off walks are. The bigger story here is that the Mets actually came back from a 3-0 deficit late in the game. I'm impressed. Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, and David Wright each had 2 hits apiece. Mike Pelfrey had a strong outing despite not getting a win, but keeping his 4-0 record in place for another day. And Ryan Church even got a hit (now we have to get Daniel Murphy back on track).

The Mets were previously 0-11 this season when trailing after seven innings. Another curse bites the dust.
