Mets beat Pesky Nats Delgado 2 more moon shots


Ollie Perez wasn't able to keep the Mets out front even though the Mets gave him leads of 2-0 and 5-2 and he was lifted after only 3 and 1/3 innings. The Nationals would take the lead at that point 7-5.

Well last year this might have been a game the Mets would lose. Not tonight.

The Mets kept coming back . Ryan Church hit a home run ,Carlos Beltran hit a 2 run shot to put the Mets ahead for good but Carlos Delgado had 2 home runs again which is the 7 time this year he has 2 homeruns in 1 game which ties a Met record set back in 1976 by Dave"Kong" Kingman

See Delgado's moon shots here

Of course there chants of MVP again tonight at Shea for Delgado. Every night he hits a home run its an important home run . No doubt even with his bad start he will be in the running for MVP this year.

The Mets go on to win 10-8 after the bullpen only allowed 1 run in the last 5 and 2/3 innings.
Brian Stokes and Luis Ayala were perfect in the last 2 innings.

The Marlins beat the Phillies 10-8 tonight so the Mets are up 2.5 with 18 to play.

Was at the game last night, and for so few people, the chants of MVP shook the stadium.

His first HR was a real shot. Got the stadium rocking.

The HR Apple was probably as tired as the players after all the HR's hit last night!
