MLB.com: Church’s slam leads Mets to sweep With Ryan Church hitting a grand slam, they scored six times in the first inning, downshifted and won handily. Oddly, when the 9-2 victory was complete, the losses to the Phillies and Marlins were not dismissed as they might have been.
MLB.com: Howard’s two homers not enough The surging Nationals continued to peck away at the Phillies, overcoming three deficits and two Ryan Howard home runs to put them away, 9-7, on Wednesday night at Nationals Park.
NYM 79-61
PHI 76-64 (3 GB; 4.5 behind in the wildcard)

Kong led the NL in HR in '82 with an OPS of 99.
I'll give Madson a pass for last night. He came in with bases loaded, nobody out and gave up 3 straight grounders. The first, hit medium speed, was scooped up by Howard moving to his right. He thought about coming home, which would have been a fine play, but must have thought about how erratic his arm is, hesitated and only got the out at second. The next ball was a medium speed grounder to third. It looked like Feliz hesitated for a millisecond, threw to second but the hesitation was enough for Utley to get wiped out at second. Two easy outs but two runs scored. Howard's hesitation was the key to 2 runs scoring that inning.
I agree. That would give the Mets a six game lead with 19 to play, and we all know what would happen then.
Still, let this be the worst problem the Mets face.
Ending up tied atop the standings is not a disaster. It's certainly not favorable, however.
