A-Gon's 1st Mets homer a game-changing slam
WASHINGTON -- The Mets have shown a consistent ability early this season to respond to rallies, never trailing for long. They showcased it again in the third inning Sunday, when Adrian Gonzalez belted a grand slam off Tanner Roark to turn a two-run deficit into a 4-2 lead.
Batting with two outs and no one on in the third inning, the Mets drew three consecutive walks off Roark to load the bases.
