Plax 4 Prez Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Wright, Mets outlast Braves in 14 innings for win No. 20 NEW YORK (AP) -- David Wright doubled home Carlos Beltran with the winning run in the 14th inning Friday night, lifting the New York Mets to an 8-7 victory over the Atlanta Braves. The hit was the third of the night for Wright, who broke out of a 1-for-19 slump with four hits Thursday night. Beltran had walked and reached second on a passed ball before Wright delivered against Jorge Sosa (0-5), who had been scheduled to start Sunday. The win was the third straight for New York and the third straight loss for Atlanta, dropping the Braves eight games behind the Mets in the NL East. New York (20-9) are 11 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2000 season. The teams traded leadoff home runs in the 11th. Pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit hit his third homer of the season, connecting against Met closer Billy Wagner for a 7-6 Atlanta lead. It was the third home run allowed by Wagner, who gave up just six all last season. Cliff Floyd, locked in a slump that had dipped his average below .190, tied it against Chris Reitsma with his third homer of the season. An inning later, Reitsma got Floyd to pop up with the bases loaded. Jose Reyes had a career-high five hits for New York. He touched off the tying four-run rally in the seventh with a single and opened the eighth with his fifth triple of the season. Trailing 6-2, the Mets knocked starter Kyle Davies out in the seventh. Reyes opened with his fourth single and Paul Lo Duca doubled. An error by shortstop Edgar Renteria allowed one run to score, and Carlos Delgado singled home another. Floyd's RBI single against reliever Ken Ray made it 6-5, and Kaz Matsui delivered a tying single. Ray escaped further damage, getting 47-year-old pinch hitter Julio Franco to hit into an inning-ending double play. Brian McCann drove in a pair of runs with two hits and Marcus Giles had three hits including a pair of doubles and scored twice for the Braves. Brian Jordan also had two hits and scored twice on McCann's single and double as the Braves built a 6-2 lead. Jordan singled and scored on McCann's hit-and-run double in the second inning. Then, with the score tied at 2-2 in the sixth, Jordan doubled with two out and scored the go-ahead run on a base hit by McCann. After McCann stole second, Matt Diaz delivered an RBI single. The Braves nicked Mets starter Steve Trachsel for a run in the first when Giles opened with a double off the right field wall and came around on a pair of infield outs. Carlos Beltran tied it for the Mets in the bottom of the first with his sixth home run of the season. Jordan and McCann put the Braves back in front in the second and Davies pitched out of a two-on, none out jam in the bottom of the second, striking out Kaz Matsui and Trachsel to strand runners at second and third. In the third, the Mets had the first two men on base again when Reyes beat out a bunt and Paul Lo Duca walked. Beltran forced Lo Duca but then Davies walked Carlos Delgado and David Wright, both on four pitches, forcing in the tying run. Jordan and McCann and Diaz hit run-scoring singles for a 4-2 lead in the sixth, and Andruw Jones and Francoeur had RBI singles in the seventh. Game notes Chipper Jones' first-inning RBI was the 105th of his career against the Mets. ... Renteria's fifth-inning single extended his hitting strek to 21 games, 20 this season. ... Reyes' five hits marked the 26th time a Mets player has had five hits in a game. ... Duaner Sanchez pitched two scoreless innings, stretching his scoreless streak to 21 innings. ...

gateb Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah, I just remembered the Yanks are coming in in only two weeks. We may get bombed by these teams the way our pitching staff is heading. Everyone needs to step it up even more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mws44 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ralph kiner- great hitter, was a great announcer now he just sounds SHITFACED....I wonder if he is or just old? I think he had a couple of strokes, thats why he sounds like that. I kinda like to hear the old school stories. Baseball is kinda about its deep history. It good to hear that history from one of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
