Mets Win Thriller, 7-4
It was pandemonium at Citi Field after an exciting walk-off win.

Carlos Lee led New York to a win over Washington. The final score was 7-4. The first baseman collected 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. New York reliever Casey Crosby got the win, raising his record to 3-5. Tony Pena was tagged with the loss.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Lee hit a fastball from Tony Pena for a 3-run home run. The Mets, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"What a buzz," said Lee after it was over.

The NL East Division-leading Mets have a record of 84-64.
