Things were not looking good for the Phillies through four at CitiField. One night after the Phils rocked Johan Santana to the tune of four homers, the Mets showed similar courtesy to our ace Cole Hamels, who gave up three straight bases-loaded singles to give the Mets a 4-1 lead, before a ...

The House That Glanville Built —
... With a runner on first and two outs, up came Wright again. This time, the New York third baseman ripped a liner to the right-centerfield gap, and it looked as though Wright was destined to end the game with a walk-off extra base hit. With the cavernous park, Fernando Martinez would have been able to walk home from first. But Werth would have none of it.

... Phils 5, Mets 4: Pretty painful loss for New York as they allowed a 4-1 lead in the seventh evaporate, partly in thanks to a bizarre drop in center by Beltran.

If nothing else, they were able to silence ...
