Yer Outta Here! Both Managers Ejected In Mets 8-6 Comeback Victory

The Mets rallied back from a 5-1 deficit to defeat the San Francisco Giants with David Wright leading the way with 3 hits and a season high four RBIs . The Mets got two unearned runs in the top of the ninth to complete their rally and have a MLB best 11-3 record in May. But Wright got the big hit in the seventh, a 3 rbi double that tied the game and put them in a position to once again thwart Giant's closer Brian Wilson.


Gary Sheffield came up big again, going 2 for 4 while scoring three times and Daniel Murphy added a pinch-hit RBI single as well. The Mets look to be firing on all cylinders, despite injuries to Carlos Delgado (which may put him on the disabled list) and Jose Reyes.

The team also continued their running ways in this game, stealing four more bases to add to their franchise record seven from the last game.

Sheffield and Wright started the ninth inning rally with singles against Wilson (2-2), who gave up three runs in the ninth Thursday night. Ryan Church bunted sharply back to Wilson, but his throw to third sailed by Pablo Sandoval, allowing Sheffield to score the game winner. Omir Santos then added a sacrifice fly to secure the win - after all, with KRod in the bullpen, just one run probably is enough the way this guy's pitching. He saved the game (his 11th) for winner Brian Stokes, his first of the year.

Of course, neither manager was around to see the last out as both where tossed arguing strikes and balls. Livan Hernandez started the game and was less than stellar. Add to that the Giants had their Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum on the hill with a 4 run lead and I'm sure no one would have thought the Mets would win this game. But they did - hopefully they can continue their newly found west coast momentum into today's game against Randy Johnson. Going for the Mets? Johan Santana ... I like our chances
