Marquee Matchup: Johan vs. Cole Hamels.
The Good: Johan dominated through eight innings (7+, 2H, 10) before allowing a few hits. Then, Heilman came in and allowed a three run homer before the Mets found a way to survive. The Mets got out to an early 2-0 lead and suffered a scare when Reyes almost suffered a concussion. They had a big eighth inning where they scored three runs and got another one one in the ninth. Wright, like Reyes a few days earlier, fell a homer short of the cycle. Billy Wagner came on in the ninth to close out the game and quiet Pat Burrell.
The Bad: Aaron Heilman.
Overall: Great game, great win. Good teams win these games. The Mets almost choked, but remain poised to preserve the win for Johan. I guess this was his way of shutting the boo birds up.
Notes: Any talk about Randolph's relationship with Reyes should be questioned as Willie was seen showing playful emotion following Reyes' near-concussion.
Final Score: Mets 6, Phillies 4. Record: 9-6.
