The Mets were down 6-0 before they came to bat last night but that didnt stop them from batling back. Ollie Perez gave up not 1 but 2 3 run homers in the first inning. Jerry Manuel had seen enough when Ollie had Pedro in a 3-0 count and he pulled him. Figgy was able to strike Pedro out.
Martinez was shaky in his return to NY but right when the Mets had him on the ropes he was able to get an out. He gave up 2 runs in the first but the Mets had to opportunity to score more but let him get out of it and it would not be the first time.
Franceour had a pretty eventful game. He had a triple in the first, he made a play in the 8th that first was ruled a trap of a ball. It was a horrible called but amazingly the umps reversed the call which in turn got Charlie Manuel ejected. The Mets had 1st and 2nd in the 9th down 9-7 with a run in already with no outs when Manuel had Castillo and Murphy running on the pitch and Franceour it into an unassisted triple play to end the game.
To torture yourself check out the triple play here. It is only the second time in MLB history a game has ended in with an unassited triple play. Not a way you want to get into the record books unless you are on the opposite site. The Mets will try to split the series with the Phillies in a 110pm afair today before they head on the road.
