Another Contender Loses
The Mets fall to Atlanta 4-2 as Jorge Campillo continues to work his magic against New York. He finishes his season against them with a 2-0 record, giving up six runs, five earned in 17 2/3 innings for a 2.55 ERA. The Brewers don't lose any ground on the Mets, and the Phillies are leading the Marlins 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth. The Marlins almost tied the game on an infielder grounder, but the runner was called out at the plate. While the Marlins broadcasters thought the runner was safe, I couldn't tell from any of the angles they showed.
Update: The Phillies get out of the bottom of the eighth without allowing a run. For the Marlins to win the game now, they may need to hang a blown save on Brad Lidge.
Update: Just watched a stop action replay and Cantu looked safe on the play at the plate. Of course, C.B. Bucknor was the umpire.
