Diamondbacks power past Mets to snap seven-game slide
Baseball Betting Lines
07/30/2010 -
Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kelly Johnson hit a go-ahead two-run homer in
the sixth and Miguel Montero tacked on a three-run shot later in the frame to
help the Diamondbacks snap a seven-game slide with a 9-6 win over the Mets.
Montero went 3-for-5 with four RBI to highlight the offensive outburst for
Arizona, which had lost four games at home to San Francisco and three straight
at Philadelphia coming in.
Ian Kennedy (6-8) labored through six innings but still wound up with the win
after giving up five runs on three hits and four walks.
David Wright had his first multi-home run game at Citi Field, driving in five
runs in New York's fourth loss in six games.
Raul Valdes (2-3) gave up both homers in the sixth and did not record an out
to take the loss behind Mike Pelfrey, who was touched for five runs -- four
earned -- on eight hits in 5 2/3 frames.
Pelfrey was pulled with two outs and Kennedy on first base in the sixth frame,
with the pitcher having reached on Jose Reyes' error on a routine ground ball.
Valdes came in and quickly gave up New York's 5-4 lead, as Johnson smashed a
changeup over the wall in center to push Arizona in front.
A pair of singles ensued before Montero sent a Valdes offering off the second-
deck facing in right, signifying the end of the reliever's forgettable outing.
Blaine Boyer gave up a run in the seventh when Angel Pagan singled to left to
plate Reyes, but the Mets stranded two runners in the frame.
Chad Qualls threw a 1-2-3 eighth, and Aaron Heilman, who spent his first six
seasons in New York, hurled a scoreless ninth for his fourth save of the year.
Arizona put up three runs in the first thanks to consecutive run-scoring
singles by Adam LaRoche, Montero and Mark Reynolds.
Wright got his glove on Reynolds' base hit and couldn't make a play, but made
up for the near miss by sending one over the left-field fence in the bottom
half to tie the game. Reyes singled and Luis Castillo walked ahead of the
blast.
Stephen Drew's double to the left-field gap scored Montero in the third,
though Wright answered again in New York's turn, following Pagan's walk with a
shot to center to give the Mets their only lead.
Game Notes
Wright now has 15 multi-home run games in his career...Pelfrey finished July
0-3 in five starts and saw his earned-run average rise from 2.93 to
4.10...Before the game, the Mets traded minor league first baseman Mike

Jason Bay on the 15-day disabled list due to a concussion and recalled
outfielder Jesus Feliciano from Triple-A Buffalo...Reyes and Wright each had
three of the Mets' seven hits...Chris Young, Johnson, LaRoche and Reynolds
each had two hits for the D'Backs...Arizona has won eight of the last nine in

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
