The Mets beat the Reds for a split of the 4 game series by a score of 7-5. The win for the Mets and the Phillies losing to the Marlins means the Mets are tied for first going into a 3 game series at Shea on Tuesday.
Mike Pelfrey wasnt dominant but he did manage to pitch 7 innings. The Mets had 14 hits with 3 by Delgado who drove in 2 runs and looks like he is really zeroed in at the plate finally.
The Mets scored early in with a run in the First but the game went back and forth. The Mets built a lead of 3-1 with a Castro 2 run bomb and added another with a rbi by David Wright.
Marlon Anderson getting a start in left mislplayed a ball that gave the Reds an extra out and led to the Reds scoring 3 in the inning to tie it at 4.
The Mets wound up tying the score at 5 and then in the 10th scored 2 runs with Robinsom Cancel leading off the ininng with a double. His first extra base hit since 1999. Reyes bunted him over to 3rd but was safe on the play himself. The other reyes was safe on throwing error that had Cancel scoring and then Delgado had a sac fly to score Reyes.
Wags came in and struck out the side for his 24 save.
Tuesday we will see Santana pitch to see if the Mets can get sole posession of first place. Shea will be rocking like it was this past week for the Billy Joel concerts.
