One day after putting together a four-run comeback against the Padres, the Mets erased a two-run deficit Tuesday in a 5-4 victory at Citi Field. Mets are growing accustom to comebacks as this is the second straight night they have trailed and came back to win. The Mets scored twice in the fourth inning against Padres starter Wade LeBlanc, scoring runs on Scott Hairston's RBI double and Paulino's sacrifice fly. But despite having several hard-hit balls against him, LeBlanc quieted the Mets bats for the rest of his six innings, striking out five, allowing six hits and walking a batter. Capuano went six innings, allowing four runs on nine hits, in which he struck out three and walking one.
After Angel Pagan brought the Mets back within one run on his leadoff homer in the eighth, Nick Evans tied the game on a sacrifice fly. Josh Spence struggled in the 8th inning, walking two (Paulino and Tejada) to allow the go-ahead run to score and give the Mets a 5-4 lead. Jason Isringhausen set the Padres down in order to record his 299th career save. R.A Dickey (5-10, 3.72 ERA) takes the hill for the Amazins as they look to extend there winning streak and possible get back into the wild card race.
