Game 51 Phils @ Mets

This has been an ugly game for both teams.
The Mets made two errors on one play to allow Mayberry to get to third and later score.
Phils have two errors that both led to runs.
On a pop up with two outs Utley gets in Jimmy Rollin's way and they drop that ball. Two hits later the run scores.

Then in the bottom of the seventh they take out Oswalt for some reason as Stutes starts the inning. In pre game they made specific mention that Oswalt had no pitch count and was expected to go deep into the game.
Reyes gets on and steals second. Then the error that leads to the go ahead run.
Like the previous game there appears to be a pick off at second but Stutes spins and throws to no one covering on the throw and it goes into center field, Reyes to third.

Phils tie it in the eighth after Dom Brown singles and steals second, then Rollins doubles him in.
Rollins goes to third on a fly out by Utley but Polanco pops up and they walk Howard for Ben Francisco who flys out to center.
More pop ups.

Mets bring in their closer Francisco Rodriguez in a tie game at home in the ninth and just as with the Phils who did this last week with Madson, he blows up and allows three runs on a string of hits.
Three runs Phils lead 6-4.

Reyes leads off the ninth with a hit. Madson gets one out on a line drive to third. Reyes steals second.
Betray singles to center fielder Martinez, Reyes holds up at third but Martinez drops the ball allowing Reyes to score and Beltran to second.
Jason Bay singles and Beltran holds on at third.
So another error for the Phils and this ugly game continues.

The games finally is over on a ground ball double play. Utley flips to Rollins over to Howard.

Mood, no choice but good because they came back and won a bad game even with the three errors.
Also because now they are once again thirteen over .500 tying the season high and plus they have baseballs best record because Cleveland has now lost three in a row. Yesterday they were first to 31 and today first to 32.

Win 6-3
Streak 3 wins
Record 32-19 league best
