The New York Mets lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 in 11 innings last night to drop their record to 57-56. They remain 2.5 games out of the second wild card spot behind the Florida Marlins. LHP Jerry Blevins gave up a run in the twelfth inning and took on a solo homer by Oscar Hernandez, the first of his career. Prior to Blevins coming in, closer Jeurys Familia pitched 2 scoreless innings. RHP Erik Goedell pitched a scoreless ninth inning. RHP Addison Reed gave up a run in the top of the eighth inning. RHP Bartolo Colon allowed 1 run in seven innings and one walk. He had eight strikeouts. He picked up a no-decision.
The offense struggled all night and managed just 3 singles by Ty Kelly, Jay Bruce and Neil Walker until the bottom of the ninth inning. Kelly Johnson hit a pinch-hit 2 run homer. Neil Walker followed with a single, but the Mets were unable to score. In the bottom of the tenth inning, 3B T.J. Rivera led off with his first major hit, but he was left stranded at second base. The Mets went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the eleventh and twelfth, which has become a recurring theme this year. This was another crushing loss in a year that has turned out to be a major dissapointment.
