Mets Win Nail-Biter in 10
New York left fielder Jeff Liefer picked up 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 6-5, in 10 innings. The Mets saw their record improve to 50-71.

Had Liefer not come through in the top of the tenth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Liefer drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Mets took the lead, 6-5, and never looked back.

"We earned that one," said Liefer.
