Beltran Tucks the Mets Into Bed! [J. Mark English]

What a game! The New York Mets win after 16 grueling innings. Carlos Beltran hits the walk off homerun, at around 12:34 am, after five plus hours (first time all year a game has gone over five hours). Darren Oliver gets the win, and Ryan Madson gets the loss. Madson only pitched seven plus innings, had six strikeouts...and this all in relief. This game may not have even gotten to the 16th, if it was not for a critical double play by Jose Reyes in the 14th.

Hopefully the Mets can pick up their second win of the day when they play at 7:00 pm. Not your normal double header mind you, but it counts doesn't it? Be that as it may, tomorrow they're going with the rookie pitcher Alay Soler so there will be little rest for the bullpen.
