Mets 12, Dodgers 1
Brad Penny got absolutely torched, giving up 10 earned runs on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. John Maine, on the other hand, had his way with the Dodgers hitters all day. He almost had a complete-game shutout, but Matt Kemp's RBI single with one out in the ninth not only ruined that, but extended Kemp's hitting streak to 12 games. Ex-Dodgers reliever Duaner Sanchez came on to finish it off, and the Dodgers fell to 19-15. Snakes play the Phillies tonight. Dodgers managed just four hits, two of them in that ninth inning rally. Oh, but one of them was a leadoff, pinch-hit double by Andruw Jones, who still got booed as he pulled into second base. Not sure what that was about, unless it was just on general principle. ... Have to make a day trip to PHX tomorrow to take care of some personal business, so I probably won't be posting. See ya Friday.
