Bottom of the 9th, Two outs, Bases Loaded. That's when legends are made right? Well, if thats the case, New York Mets' center-fielder Carlos Beltran was the legend of the night, blasting a fastball from Florida Marlins' closer Kevin Gregg into the right-field seats for a grand-slam. The shot propelled the Mets from looking at a 1-3 defeat into a commanding 5-3 lead going into the bottom of the 9th.
Still, you knew that the Marlins would get a chance at the worst bullpen in the bigs. And that wasn't a walk in the park. Closer Luis Ayala still ended up getting out of the inning only allowing 1 meaning-less run, but he stranded runners on second and third.
The Good: Carlos Beltran, who went 2-4 with the GS and 5 RBI
The Bad: Closer Kevin Gregg, who gave up 4 runs and 3 hits in the final inning.
