Jorge Sosa started wild & ended up giving up 6 runs in a 6-2 loss to the Nats. From the onset he didn't have good control & it cost him b/c he'd then throw meatballs over the plate looking for strikes & Ryan Church & Dmitri Young (Austin Kearns went yard as well) made him pay for it.
Offensively, the Mets got runners they just couldn't get the hit in key spots to get them home. So, Sosa drops t0 7-6 & former Met, Mike Bacsik picked up the win for the Nats moving to 4-6 on the year.
Boxscore.
Luckily the Braves lost to the D-backs in 11 so now both Atlanta & Philly are 4 games back of the Metropolitans going into today's action.
In Transaction news, Joe Smith was demoted to AAA New Orleans while Jon Adkins was called up to fill his spot in the bullpen. Moises Alou also played his 1st game since May coming off a long stint out with a leg injury.
Up today: A Double Dipper! In the 1st game at 12:10 EDST, Tim Redding is scheduled to pitch for the Nationals facing El Duque for the Mets. In the nightcap, Mike Pelfrey for the Mets is scheduled to face off against Joel Hanrahan at 7:10 EDST
