Mets Drop Phillies, 2-1
Mets fans were sent into a frenzy with a walk-off win.

The New York Mets topped the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1, in NL action at Shea Stadium 1979-2008. The game was highlighted by the performance of New York pitcher Rich Harden. Philadelphia has now lost 4 straight.

When he came to bat in the bottom of the tenth, Ramon E Martinez had a chance to be the hero. Philadelphia pitcher Danny Kolb had other ideas. But with two outs, Martinez hit a run-scoring single. The Mets had themselves a dramatic win.

"For the most part, I stayed out of the middle of the plate," Harden said.
