Source: MSNBC -- Read Full Story
Two nights in a row the New York Mets proved they can beat Philadelphia — at least when Jimmy Rollins is on the bench. Jose Reyes scored the winning run with a slick slide at the plate on Angel Pagan’s 12th-inning single, and New York outlasted the Phillies 4-3 Thursday night. With last year’s NL East champions missing their MVP shortstop, the Mets won the final two of a three-game series after losing nine straight to Philadelphia — including the final eight meetings in 2007.
