Meet the Mets, greet the Mets, go on out and get beat by the Mets.
That they did, in spectacular fashion tonight. Rick Porcello, for the fourth consecutive outing, didn't have it. Daniel Schlereth added his name to the infamous list of pitchers who've allowed two grand slams in the same game; blasts by Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran.
However ...
Our nemesis from the Arizona series, Wily Mo Pena, pinch-hit a walkoff homer off Tony Sipp that beat the Indians 5-4 in Phoenix.
So the Tigers lose no ground to the Tribe, and keep their one game lead in the AL Central race.
Since his return to the major leagues a week ago, Wily Mo has provided the margin of victory in two games with homers. If he keeps it up and the D-Backs make post-season, he'll be the new millennium's Hurricane Hazle.
