Game Recap: Mets 4 – Braves 3

Carlos Delgado delivered in the top of the 9th and almost gave the game away in the bottom of the ninth.

The New York Mets (12-13) beat the Atlanta Braves (11-15) by a score of 4-3.

The Mini Recap

Livan Hernandez was economical.  Only 74 pitches over 6 1-3 innings for Hernandez.  He allowed one run on seven hits.  Francisco Rodriguez struggled a bit and Delgado dropped a easy fly ball that would have ended the game that led to two runs in the bottom of the ninth for the Braves.

The Mets got a pair of RBI doubles in the third inning from David Wright and Ramon Castro.  Delgado added two RBIs, including the eventual game winner, in the top of the ninth with a single up the middle with the bases loaded.

The Mets nearly handed this game away.  Key word: Nearly.
