| I guess I should call the Phillies "The Choke Artists", as again they choke in the clutch. After a 5th inning Rod Barajas sac fly and a 6th inning Jimmy Rollins homer and Chase Utley RBI double gives them a 3-1 lead, the Mets get 3 in the bottom of the 6th for a 4-3 lead. The choke came in the 9th. With ex-Phillie Billy Wagner on the mound and one out, Aaron Rowand walks and Rod Barajas doubles for runners on second and third. Pinch-hitter Jason Werth struck out for out number two. Wagner apparently didn't want to deal with the 2 for 4 (double and the homer) Rollins, so he intentionally walked him to load the bases. Shane Victorino couldn't deliver, however, grounding out to end the game with the bases loaded. 4th straight loss for the Phils. |

The New York (NL) Mets nipped the Philadelphia Phillies 4 to 3 at Shea Stadium
in a hard fought contest.
Aaron Sele(1-0) was solid in relief, and he got credit for the win. He
surrendered no hits and 1 walk in 1 inning. Philadelphia threatened in the
9th but their rally came up short.
Sele got relief help from Billy Wagner who gained credit for his 2nd save.
Adam Eaton(0-1) suffered the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 4 hits in 5 and
1/3 innings.
Despite losing Charlie Manual was optimistic after the game. 'We'll get over
this one. Sometimes the breaks fall your way, sometimes they don't. Any one
of a dozen little things go different, and we come out on top.'
