That was a tense 8th inning if I've ever seen one.
Bases loaded, none out, and the Mets manage to hole the team to only one run and maintain their lead? What alternate universe have I fallen into?
A great inning ending double was turned by Argenis Reyes, Jose Reyes, and Nick Evans. Joe Smith induced a ground ball that A-Rey had to lay out to field, then flipped the ball up to J-Rey at second. J-Rey's throw to first pulled Evans to his right, where he had to literally lay out to field the ball. He did, and the Mets escaped the inning with limited damage.
Johan Santana was very grateful.
But, the Mets still have to get three more outs before this game is sealed up.
