| A day after a wild 17-14 Mets win, the Nats and Mets settle in for a good old fashioned pitcher's duel. Nats starter Shawn Hill pitches 6 shutout innings, but leaves the game in the 7th in favor of a pinch hitter when the Nats had runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs in a scoreless game. That pinch hitter (Robert Fick) would walk, but the Nats would fail to score and the Mets would get a run off a Ryan Zimmerman error in the bottom of the 7th. The Nats would strike back in the top of the 9th with a leadoff single from Ryan Church, a pinch hit double from Josh Wilson, and finally a wild pitch from Mets closer Billy Wagner. The teams would hold each other scoreless until the bottom of the 12th, when pinch hitter Damion Easley would greet Chad Cordero with a fences-clearing shot for the win. |
