April 30, 2010 Mets 4, Phillies 1




First, I was wrong in the blog of the 21 inning Braves-Cardinals game that the Braves were the Phillies next opponent. I meant to say the Cardinals were, but obviously that would had been wrong also since this game was against the Mets. The Mets, Cardinals and Braves do all play the Phillies in the current homestand in that order. Oops.

Anyway, as for the game if it was not for Ike Davis, the Phils would have won the game 1-0! Davis singlehandedly wins the game for New York, acounting for all four Met RBIs with two homeruns - dual two-run shots with one in the 4th ining and one in the 8th, both off of Kyle Kendrick. Not that Kendrick pitched particularly bad, as he did go into the 8th inning, but two mistake pitches is all it takes. The Phils finally get a run off of a tiring Jonathan Niese in the bottom of the 8th on a Carlos Ruiz double and Shane Victorino RBI single. Niese does strike out 10 Phils in the winning effort.

The Phils finish the first month of the year at 13-9, four games behind the division-leading Braves.

First baseman Ike Davis knocked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Jonathon Niese
reeled off a total of 10 strikeouts as the New York (NL) Mets defeated the
Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 4 to 1 at Citizen's Bank Park.

Davis provided the offensive punch. He blasted a solo shot in the 4th inning
and popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 8th inning. New York (NL)
banged out 7 hits on the night.

The win went to Niese(2-2) who allowed 1 run in 7 and 2/3 innings. Francisco
Rodriguez recorded his 10th save. Kyle Kendrick(1-2) was tagged with the
loss.

Niese didn't realize how many strikeouts he was racking up. When told he had
10 he was obviously surprised, 'No kidding? Man, I knew that I had a decent
total, but I didn't think I had K'd that many. Say, that's pretty good,
isn't it?'
