Strange inning — Mets scoring four in the seventh on three walks (one intentional), a bunt single, two wild pitches and a sac fly. Craziest play came with two outs and men at the corners. The Padres pitcher tosses the ball off the catcher and Castillo comes charging in. As he closes in on the plate, the catcher tosses the ball over the head of the covering pitcher at the plate. Reyes, watching the play unfold, then scampers home from first — from FIRST!
See what I mean? Crazy.
