Angel in the Outfield

(by Brett Kahn)

It was another chapter in the Mets Phillies saga and there was no shortage of a dramatic ending. Angel Pagan's single in the 12th inning drove in Jose Reyes for the 4-3 Mets win and the series.

Pagan had another sensational night going 3-for-5 with two runs and that game winning RBI. Ryan Church also had another nice game for the club going 2-for-5 with two runs batted in.

P John Maine looked comfortable but not entirely convincing. He went 6+ innings giving up one earned run but walked five. P Aaron Heilman continued to struggle as he gave up two runs included the tying one in the eighth. Billy Wagner and Scott Schoeneweiss pitched one scoreless inning in the win, while Joe Smith added 1.1 innings of scoreless relief.

The Mets will open up a three game set against the Milwaukee Brewers tomorrow as Nelson Figueroa will make his first start of the season.
