Red Sox beat Gniotczynski/Maier division leading Mets 4-3. Great pitching kept this game at 1-1 through four innings, good defence and timely hitting the rest of the way would lift the Sox to victory. Tristan had his best outing of the year from the mound allowing just one run and striking out 11 (8 straight at one point) in four innings of work. Tristan then led the fifth off with single and was driven in by Mikey's big two run dinger. But the lead would not last as the Mets plated two of thier own in the bottom half of the inning. The Red Sox added a run in the sixth after Eddie and Diego got on base the painfull way and Eric drove in the deciding run. The outcome of the game wasn't official until an outstanding play in the field. In the bottom of the seventh frame the Mets put runners at second and third with one out. The Mets batter hit a smash to Tristan at short who then froze the runner at third and gunned out the batter at first, Luke then charged the breaking runner from third and dilivered his own strike to Lilly who layed down the perfect tag at the plate. Double play, game over. The Red Sox look to continue thier good play next Monday against the second place Giants.
