Mets Lose To Phils 8-7 In 13 Innings
The Mets blew a seven run lead to go to extra innings and lose to the Phillies. Pedro Martinez didn’t have a good game at all giving up five runs over five innings, all in the fourth and fifth innings. Scott Schoenweiss gave up the game in the 13th on a sacrifice fly by Chris Coste to score Shane Victorino, a devastating loss.
The Mets had monster offensive games by Damion Easley (4 hits) and Fernando Tatis (4 RBI’s).
So the Mets lose a five hour game and the NL East lead at the same time. Ugly.
