| A 3-0 Phillies lead through 7 goes quickly south when Vance Worley's day was done. Worley pitched shutout ball through those 7 innings, but walking four had him over the 100 pitch mark. Rather than try to go two more innings out of him for the shutout, I decided to bring in reliever Joe Savery for the 8th. Bad move, as David Wright smokes a 2-run homer off of him and the first two runs for the Mets. Still with a 3-2 lead entering the 9th, normally reliable Jonathan Papelbon comes in from the 'pen. Not dependable today though. as first batter Jason Bay is walked, promptly followed by Lucas Duda smoking one over the wall for two runs and a 4-3 Mets lead. Another insurance run scores for the Mets on Papelbon's watch, as he allows three runs in 2/3 of an inning and his second blown save in three games. The Phillies do get the first two runners on and the winning run to the plate with nobody out in the bottom of the 9th, bu three quick outs squelch any chance of a comeback.

WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Brian Schneider blocked the plate, saving a run!
Bot 8th: Kirk Nieuwenhuis robbed Ty Wigginton of a Homerun!
In a thriller the New York (NL) Mets staged a dramatic comeback then held on
to win over the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 5 to 3 at Citizens Bank
Park.
New York (NL) scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning with 3 runs on 4
hits. Jason Bay led off and keyed the rally when he drew a walk. Lucas Duda
came to the plate and bombed a two-run dinger. Kirk Nieuwenhuis then stroked
a base-hit. Josh Thole followed and he grounded into a double play. Scott
Hairston came up to bat and doubled. Ruben Tejada contributed to the rally
and lined a single. Ronny Cedeno stepped into the batter's box and he drew a
walk. David Wright got his chance to keep things going, but he went down on
strikes. New York (NL) rapped out 9 hits for the afternoon.
Manny Acosta(1-0) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the win. Acosta was
helped out by Bobby Parnell who recorded his 2nd save. Jonathan
Papelbon(1-1) suffered the loss in relief.
'The only way this one could have been better', said Acosta, 'was if we had
played it at home.'
