Delgado leads Mets past Phils, back into first place

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Delgado hit a pair of home runs
and drove in three, as the New York Mets rallied to beat Philadelphia, 6-3,
and leapfrog the Phillies to retake the lead in the NL East.
In the first game of the series on Tuesday, Philadelphia came back from a
seven-run deficit to win in 13 innings. On Wednesday, the Mets used a four-run
eighth to earn a split in the two-game set and take a half-game lead in the
division.
Delgado, Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes each had three hits, while Brian
Schneider had a key two-run single for the Mets, who have won two of three.
Johan Santana labored through six innings, and didn't factor into the decision
after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks. He also struck out
six. Brian Stokes (1-0) took the win after throwing a scoreless seventh, while
Luis Ayala picked up his second save with a perfect ninth.
Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer and Jayson Werth added a solo shot for the
Phillies, who had a five-game win streak snapped.
Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick gave up two runs on eight hits in five-plus
innings, and took a no-decision. Rudy Seanez (5-4) gave up two runs in two-
thirds of the eighth inning to take the loss, and Brad Lidge allowed two more
runs in relief of Seanez.
The Mets trailed by one heading into the eighth inning, and Seanez started the
frame off well by getting Luis Castillo to ground out and striking out David
Wright.
But Delgado homered to left field to suddenly make it a tie game, at 3-3. It
was Delgado's third homer in seven career at-bats versus Seanez.
Beltran then reached on an infield single, prompting Lidge to enter the game.
After Beltran stole second, Lidge intentionally walked Ryan Church. That
brought up Daniel Murphy, who doubled to right field to plate Beltran for a
4-3 New York lead.
With runners in scoring position, Schneider provided some cushion for the
visitors by blooping a single just inside the third base line in shallow left
field. Both runners scored to give the Mets a three-run edge.
Pedro Feliciano and Joe Smith combined to throw a scoreless bottom of the
eighth, and Ayala got three consecutive groundouts in the ninth to seal the
win.
The Mets had a lead in the first inning when Delgado singled home Reyes, who
led off with a base hit and advanced to second on a groundout.
But Philadelphia took the lead in short order. In the home first, Jimmy
Rollins hit a leadoff single, and later stole second with two outs. Howard
crushed a Santana offering beyond the left field fence for a 2-1 Phillies
advantage. Werth's leadoff shot in the second also went to left field for a
two-run lead.
Kendrick threw 90 pitches through five complete innings, and returned to the
mound for the sixth. But he dealt Delgado, who led off, a low pitch, which the
Mets first baseman smacked deep into the right field stands to bring New York
within one.
