Mets drop game and fall out of first place

Well they made it interesting at least. Tying run on 1st, 2 men on and 2 out and Jose Reyes up. Reyes wound up flying out to left and the Mets lost 7-5

Mike Pelfrey was off tonight. He cruised through the first 3 innings but seemed to labor in the fourth inning. He was either fighting himself or getting frustrated by the Marlins and there stepping out of the batters box. He give up 4 runs in that inning before he finally got out the 4th.
He was lifted for a pinch hitter the next inning.

The Mets made it close when Damion Easley hit a 3 run pinch hit homerun right as Gary on SNY was saying that Damion played in Florida for the Marlins and could use the left field fence to his advantage and boom there it went . The mets were now within 1

Duaner Sanchez had a scoreless 7th but its Joe Smith's turn to hit a wall as he give up a 2 run home run to Dan Uggla that put the game out of reach 7-4.

The Mets did score one in the 9th on 3 hits by Anderson, Schneider and pinch hitter Castro but that is where it ended.

Marlon Anderson cant run his hamstring is giving him problems . He was jogging down to first and jogging on his way home. He might be heading for the DL again.

The Phillies beat the Nationals to take over first again from the Mets by a half game.
