'66 Giants take 3 of 4 from '07 Amazins

Game 1 (Shea): The Mets were again a victim of their much malligned bullpen. El Duque left with a 4-3 lead only to see Pedro Feliciano blow it by giving up 3 runs in the top of the 7th. The Mets ralied to force extra innings, but Billy Wags gave up 2 in the top of the 10th and SF held on to win. Willie McCovey hit the 3 run shot off of Feliciano to put SF ahead. Tito Fuentes (SF) and David Wright (NYM) both had 3 hit games. Ramon Castro also had a 3 run shot in a losing cause.

Game 2 (Shea): Manager Justin Ryan was not about to let his pen blow another one as he coaxed a complete game 3 run performance out of Tommy "I'm not devastated" Glavine. Marichal took the loss and again gave up 4+ runs. Both aces have pitched like jokers this season. All of the scoring occurred in the first 3 innings. Mays hit his 5th HR of the season, but his avg is still in the .240's. Carlos Beltran's solo shot in the 3rd held up to be the deciding run.

Game 3 (Candlestick): John Maine gave up 7 runs in 4 innings of work as the Giants crushed the Amazin's 9-3. Gaylord Perry tossed 141 pitches over 8 and evened his record to 3-3. Mays and McCovey both had 2 hits. Big Mac, Willie McCovey, hit his 6th homer of the season off of Maine. He now has 2 consecutive games with a 3 run homer.

Game 4 (Candlestick): Ollie Perez was fantastic for 7+ innings, but he ran out of gas and couldn't get out of the 8th as the Giants scored the go ahead run to make it 3-2. Homering in his 3rd consecutive game Willie McCovey was again the hero for the Giants as he chased Perez from the mound. Bobby Bolin went 8 innings and scattered 7 hits and 1 earned run. Billy Hoeft and Frank Linzy closed out the ninth as the Giants took 3 of 4 from the Amazin's. The Mets had 2 more stolen bases and now have the top 3 SB leaders in the NL.
