David Wright and the rest of the New York Mets were definitely a little more determined to go home with a win last night against the Florida Marlins. After giving up two runs in the first inning and blowing the save in the ninth, the Mets still came out of there with a victory.
Jon Niese gave up two runs in the first inning to Omar Infante and Hanley Ramirez. Surprisingly that is all the noise the Marlins made until the ninth inning. Wright made play of noise in the fourth inning with a solo home-run. Carlos Beltran was able to score of off a double by Ike Davis. Chin-lung Hu was able to cross home plate with some assistance from his teammates to give the Mets the lead. Fransisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez came to the mound anxious to take down the Marlins and give the Mets the win. Too bad that didn't happen. Rodriguez gave up a run to Brett Hayes, tying the game.
So the Mets came out in the tenth with a sense of ferocity. They came out swinging. Jose Reyes and Angel Pagan were able to get on base with singles. David Wright brought Reyes home with a single, giving the Mets the lead again. Willie Harris doubled to right field, giving Pagan and Wright the chance to score. Blaine Boyer came out, giving up one run, but earning the save.
The desire the Mets showed last night to win the first game of the season was very comforting. I just hope they can keep it up.
