The New York Mets scored runs in the ninth and tenth innings Wednesday night to notch a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
After David Wright spoiled Angels’ closer Francisco Rodriguez’s save opportunity with a two-out RBI single in the ninth, Damion Easley homered in the 10th to give new manager Jerry Manuel his first Mets victory.
Starter Oliver Perez, who pitched a solid game during our visit to Shea Friday night, threw three scoreless innings before yielding four runs in the fourth and fifth. He lost his no-hit bid in the third inning when Chone Figgins singled to right, bumping our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,391 without a Mets no hitter.
