Musgrove (2-2) struck out seven, walked three and allowed three hits over 51/3 innings, and then Luke Gregerson, Pat Neshek and Brad Peacock closed things out. So did Jose Bautista.

What is incredible about the Mets’ effort to win as many games as they possibly can is who they are leaning on to make it happen. The Orioles have lost four out of five and are clinging to the second wild card. If you’re a fan of the rebuilding Phillies take some solace that Jake Thompson pitched pretty well. Rivera is batting.289 with three RBIs in 13 games for the Mets and.347 with 11 homers and 81 RBIs in 99 games for Las Vegas.
ANGELS 9, REDS 2: Mike Trout and Albert Pujols each hit one of the Angels’ five home runs in a win over Cincinnati.
I feel like I would be able to fix it (the glitch) in between, but like they said when I had rest I come back better from it.
Seth Lugo starts on Tuesday, with Bartolo Colon taking the ball on Wednesday and Steven Matz slated to return from the disabled list and start on Thursday. Big day for Salty yesterday as he also got on record saying “it’s pretty disgusting” for someone to exercise their First Amendment rights.
Koehler surrendered a pair of solo home runs in five innings at NY on July 4 and is 2-6 with a 4.13 ERA in 19 career games – 16 starts – against the Mets. And despite getting blanked by Jose Fernandez for six innings, the Mets ultimately beat the Miami Marlins, 2-1, in 10 innings in Monday’s series opener at Citi Field. Collins cited De Aza’s recent strong showing and Granderson’s strong numbers against Jose Fernandez – albeit in limited at-bats. With two on and nobody out in the ninth, Yadier Molina bunted and reliever Tyler Thornburg (5-5) threw to third base for a force out, but Jonathan Villar’s throw to first was wild, allowing Piscotty to score. Both the Cards and Giants are struggling now and with the Mets heading into the last leg of their schedule they will have mostly NL East teams.
Because he knew that would happen and not result in a double play, which it nearly did? He has won the past two. Miguel Montero‘s bases loaded pinch hit to left field off of Jeff Locke plated the game-winner in the form of Kris Bryant. He gave up three hits and walked four. “Joe Musgrove” would also be an excellent name for a backup quarterback. You know, that senior who, outside of garbage time in blowouts, has held the clipboard for all four years but who, when that golden boy recruit who was supposed to be so special stumbles in week three vs. Tulsa or whoever, you are convinced would be a better choice. It’s a nice fall day for crying out loud, enjoy the game if you want to, but maybe spend some time outside before and after and gain some perspective.
Detroit trailed 3-2 after a solo homer in the seventh by Chicago’s Tyler Saladino, but Saltalamacchia’s towering drive to right-center off Nate Jones (5-3) put the Tigers ahead. Fouled off. Then a four-seam fastball. He has won the past two. “He’s been a great teammate and I’m telling you he’s bringing something to our team, too”. This time Alicides Escobar did not hit a three-run homer because he wasn’t there.
Miami broke a scoreless tie in the eighth when Ichiro Suzuki and Xavier Scruggs hit consecutive two-out doubles off Addison Reed. Earlier Nick Hundley hit for a two-run homer. Trout, Calhoun, Pujols and Marte all were a triple shy of the cycle.

“I’m feeling really good at the plate”, Cabrera said.
