Mets drop Series to Padres as K-Rod blows 3rd game of Season

Mets lost in 11 innings 5-1 as they still have not won a road series this year. K- Rod had 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th trying to preserve the 1-0 lead thanks to the splendid performance of Johan Santana. But David Eckstein knocked a single up the middle as Tony Gwynn came around third to score the tying run. The Mets then threw out Eckstein trying to score from first on a double to force extra innings . After two scoreless innings, Raul Valdes came in and gave up a leadoff double to Gwynn who was then later thrown out on a Garland sacrifice bunt. Followed by two straight singles that set the padres up with the bases loaded with Adrian Gonzalez up in the 11th who crushed a grand slam to give the Padres the series victory over the Mets.

Three Stars-
3rd Star-  David Eckstein / Tony Gwynn Jr.
2nd Star- Johan Santana
1st Star- Adrian Gonzalez
