A Nice Bounce Back

A late inning comeback against the Phils pen. Boy, did the Metties need that one.

Stokes, Feliciano, Smith and Ayala combined for 3 scoreless innings in relief of Johan, who gave up 3 in 6 tough innings. And that 6th inning was gutty. Already near 100 pitches, with 2 on and no outs, he managed to pitch out of a jam without giving up a run. The 3rd out was striking out Feliz, on two nasty changeups in a row.

Delgado is swinging a wicked hot stick right now, no way around it. That home run off of Seanez is going to leave a philthy taste in their mouth for weeks.

Getting to Lidge was a nice added bonus. Hope he's a little less confident next time we face him.

Kind of makes you think why they didn't bring him in against Delgado. Hmmmm
