Extra-Inning Wins
Fernando Tatis saves Billy Wagner complete embarrassment by hitting a two-run homer in the top of the twelfth inning to give the Mets a 4-2 win. Joe Smith needs no help as he pitches 2 1/3 innings for the win, finishing the game so there's no save. The Mets take two out of three from the Phillies and now trail by 3 1/2 games in the NL East.
The Braves knock out four straight singles in the bottom of the seventeenth, the last by Mark Teixeira plating the winning run for a 7-6 victory over the Astros. Chipper Jones went three for five with four walks to raise his average to .388. That takes the probability of his hitting .400 to .00038, as seen on the latest Chipper Jones graph.
