Easley Comes through Again
On a night that saw a less than perfect Tom Glavine, the Mets bats came alive in the top of the 9th to steal the win from Arizona. Going into the game, the Mets had won their last ten games at Chase Field, and the streak looked all but snapped with the Mets trailing 4-3 in the top of the 9th inning and closer Jose Valverde on the mound. Valverde had converted 10 saves already heading into last night.
However, after a rare error by former Met, Tony Clark, and a walk to Paul LoDuca, Damon Easley stepped to the plate and produced a three-run home run. This marks the second time Easley has come through with a home run in a crucial situation this season, the other coming on April 24th against the Rockies at Shea to tie the game in the 10th. He is now being labeled as "Hit man" by his teammates, a nick name that I'm sure Easley doesn't have any qualms about.
Beltan also went deep in the game for his 7th of the season. For good measure, David Wright came up after the Easley shot in the 9th with two on and hit an opposite field three run homer to make the score 9-4.
