Luis Ayala pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win as the Mets come back from a 4-3 deficit to defeat the Braves in the bottom of the ninth when Carlos Delgado singles in David Wright.

Ayala came to the Mets from Washington, who picked up Anderson Hernandez in the deal. The second baseman drove in a run tonight to cut the Phillies lead to 3-2, and Washington went on to win the game 4-3 with two runs in the eighth. That drops the Phillies 2 1/2 games behind the Mets. The trade helps them in Philadelphia and New York at the same time!
