With the power of Donnie Stevenson on their side, the Mets turned a 4-2 deficit into an 8-4 advantage on their way to an 8-7 win over Philadelphia.
Only appearing in tonight’s game because of his suspension appeal, Jose Alvarado got absolutely sliced and diced by Donnie’s Boys, giving up three runs on a hit and two walks. Of course, other Phillies came together to give up the other five runs along the way, but I just wanted to mention Alvarado.
David Peterson had a start that can be given a firm grade of Good as he went five innings giving up only one run and striking out eight guys before being removed for a pinch hitter.
