Tied at six, Dan Murphy of the Mets leads off the bottom of the ninth with a triple against the Cubs. Bobby Howry strikes out David Wright, intentionally walks Delgado and Beltran to load the bases, then gets Church to ground into a force at the plate. That brings Castro to the plate, and he goes down swinging to send the game to the tenth. The Mets had a runner at third with no outs in each of the last three innings, and only pushes across one run.

Ah, those one-run games again. Well, this one didn't end up as a one-run contest. But if Church's ground ball goes ten feet to the left of the drawn-in second baseman instead of right at him, we're talking about a "gritty, character-building" one-run win for the Metropolitans.
