Padres 9 Mets 8: Night Of The Blown Saves, Pt. 2

Same story as what happened in Shea on Tuesday night, just going into extra innings now. I missed the first part of the game, when the Mets battled back from a 6-1 deficit to take a 7-6 lead going into the ninth, but Billy Wagner gave up three straight hits and two runs to open the Padres half, leaving the Mets with yet another hole climb out of.



Oh yay............fan "favorite" Aaron Heilman just gave up a one-out tenth inning home run.




....and the Mets place runners on first and second with two out, but Luis Castillo grounds out to the second baseman to cap another cruel Mets loss. Certainly not Castillo's fault in this game, but first baseman Carlos Delgado has been MIA this entire series, and third baseman David Wright had a shaky night in the field, with two errors and letting the lead off Padre hit in the ninth rocket past him, which wound up as a double.


Oh well, at least the Phillies lost to the Dodgers, and the Reds just beat the Braves in Cincinnati, with a two run home run by Adam Dunn in the bottom of the 12th inning.
