by Matthew Cerrone on June 19th, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Last night, with two outs and the Mets down one run in the ninth inning, and the tying run on second base, David Wright ripped a single to left-center to push the game in to extra innings.

…wright remained patient, and hit what was a nasty curve ball from Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez

According to ESPN’s Baseball Tonight, Wright is the second batter all season to get a hit against Rodriguez’s curve ball.

Also, Baseball Tonight points out that Wright had been just 1 for 20 in ninth-inning at bats this year prior to last night’s game.
