Breaking News: CAT Scans on Wright Negative

Mets may have just dodged a major bullet.

SNY is reporting that the CAT scans on David Wright came up negative. Wright suffered a concussion and will stay in the hospital overnight as a precaution.

8/15/09 Giants 5, Mets 4 (10 inn.) Postgame Review

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Mets by a score of 5-4 in 10 innings today, tying the 4 game series at 1 apiece.

Win- Brian Wilson (5-5)
Loss- Francisco Rodriguez (2-4)

Full boxscore and recap available here, courtesy of MLB.com.

Game Notes

-Who didn't see this coming? David Wright was hit in the head by a Matt Cain fastball in the 4th inning, crumpled to the ground in pain, and obviously left the game. He was replaced by Fernando Tatis. Wright was taken to the hospital, and to my knowledge no medical reports have come back yet.

-In the 7th inning, Johan Santana threw a pitch behind Pablo Sandoval (possibly as an attempt at retaliation). Sandoval took Santana deep on the very next pitch. This resulted in both benches being warned.

-After the warning, Santana hit Bengie Molina with a pitch. He was not ejected, but he was taken out of the game by Jerry Manuel after the HBP.

-Matt Cain was very sharp tonight.

-Luis "Slappy" Castillo went 3-for-4, and also struck out (for whatever reason, he's been K'ing a lot lately).

-Francisco Rodriguez pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 9th, stayed in for the 10th and surrendered a solo homer to Giants catcher Bengie Molina. Rodriguez received the loss today.

-Brian Wilson went 2 2/3 innings in relief, a career high, and received the win in today's game.

-The Mets fell to 54-62 with today's loss.

Mets Player of the Game: David Wright, for getting up by himself after being hit on the head by Matt Cain in the 4th.
