Mets Escape Late Jam
Baseball
By Associated Press | August 9, 2007
Moises Alou hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and Billy Wagner escaped a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the ninth to help the Mets edge the Atlanta Braves 4–3 yesterday.
Wagner earned his 350th career save and extended his scoreless streak to 21 innings when Andruw Jones grounded into a game-ending double play. Jeff Francouer bounced into a force play at the plate for the first out of the inning. Shawn Green went 4-for-4 for the Mets, who beat Atlanta for only the fourth time in 11 meetings this season.
