American League 3, Mets 2
David Wright and Carlos Beltran tried their best, but the rest of their National League teammates couldn't give them enough support to pull out the win. Wright homered in the second inning. Beltran, the only player to play all nine innings of this game, was on base three times, hitting a double and a single and reaching on an error. He scored the NL's second run in the third when he singled, went to second on a throw that nailed Alfonso Soriano at the plate, stole third and got home on a wild pitch. He reached in the bottom of the ninth with one out after Trevor Hoffman had blown the NL's lead in the top half. But Ryan Howard and Carlos Lee were unable to drive him in. And so the Mets are going to have to win a World Series game on the road.
Paul Lo Duca went hitless in three at bats and grounded into a double play. ¶ joe | 11:23 PM |
