It took the Giants and Reds two tries to win their games in extra-innings this afternoon. The Giants and Mets found themselves tied at four at the end of regulation, but San Francisco came back with two in the tenth. Armando Benitez reminded the Mets why they're happy he's gone as he allowed two runs in the bottom of the inning to send the contest into the eleventh. The two runs came on homers by Valentin and the first by Lastings Milledge. In the 12th, however, Pedro Feliz singled to drive in a run, and Accardo made it stand up for the 7-6 Giants win.

Craig Biggio doubled and scored in the bottom of the 8th to tie the Reds at three. Cincinnati scored in the top of the tenth off Wheeler, but Coffey was on decaf as he allowed two hits and a run in the bottom of the inning. Ryan Freel, however, hit his second homer of the game in the 11th, and Esteban nailed down the victory for his first save since 2004. The Reds win 6-4.
