(Sports Network) - The New York Mets will attempt to make it two straight wins and improve to 15 games over .500 at home tonight, when they meet the Houston Astros in the middle test of a three-game series at Citi Field. The Mets won Friday's opener, 2-1, after starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey worked eight scoreless frames on the mound. Pelfrey (13-7) gave up just six hits and two walks, while striking out four for the Mets, who had dropped three of four coming in. Ruben Tejada and David Wright ea
Phils, Padres set for matinee affair Sat Aug 28 10:57:04 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - The confidence level didn't seem high for the Philadelphia Phillies after they were swept in four games at home by the lowly Houston Astros. But after Friday's win at San Diego in the opener of a three-game series from Petco Park, the Phillies should feel a little better about themselves heading into Saturday afternoon's second portion of this set. Padres starter Jon Garland is clearly the reason why since he's 0-4 with a 7.94 earned run average in five career starts against

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Chris Johnson's infield single scored the go-ahead run in the 16th inning, as the Houston Astros pulled out a 4-2 win over the Phillies in a battle of attrition at Citizens Bank Park. The game was the longest of each team's season, lasted five hours and 20 minutes, and forced both teams to empty their benches. In fact, following Ryan Howard's ejection at the end of the 14th inning, the Phillies had no more position players left and were forced to play pitcher
