The Mets were rained out yesterday afternoon. So they came out today looking to keep winning. But in order to do so they had to face the Marlins starter, Dontrelle Willis.
Willis has dominated the Mets, going 8-1, over his career. So coming into today's game, the Mets knew that they had to find a way to beat him, if they wanted to extend their record to 4-1.
Willis, dominated the Mets over the first six innings. But the Mets finally broke through in the seventh inning. Paul Lo Duca singled to right field, then Carlos Beltran singled to left field, Carlos Delgado grounds out to the right side and moves the runners to second and third. David Wright comes up and hits a line drive to right field and he ends up at third with a triple. Two runs score and the game is tied 2-2.
Game remains tied until the bottom of the ninth inning. Carlos Beltran walks, Carlos Delgado lines a pitch to right field for a single. First and third and no one out. David Wright hits a sacrifice fly to right field to score Beltran with the winning run. Mets 3 - Marlins 2.
The Mets overcame Dontrelle Willis, sweep the two game set and finish their first homestand of the year 4-1 and now head to Washingtin to face the Nationals on Tuesday afternoon, April 11.
Clutch hitting helped out the Mets again today, as they continue on their path to become the team to beat this season.
