NEW YORK -- Marlon Byrd was having a difficult night at the plate, along with just about everyone else. http://www.onlineairmax.es/nike-air-max-1-em-mujer-zapatillas-de-running-rosa-blanco-azul.html . Still, when he came up in the 11th inning against his former teammates, he had an idea what he wanted to do. When the Mets switched their approach, he adjusted and came through. Byrd reached low and away to slice an RBI double just inside the right field line in the 11th, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over New York 3-2 Friday night in a game of many squandered opportunities. "Hes got a great mentality for that. Hes always on the positive side and hes always up there," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Hell grind it out. Hell grind out a game and thats what he demonstrates." Chase Utley had three hits and scored all the Phillies runs, two on singles by Domonic Brown, to help Philadelphia end a four-game skid and beat the Mets for the first time in six meetings. Carlos Torres (2-2), the seventh Mets pitcher, gave up a one-out double to Utley and intentionally walked Ryan Howard. Byrd, who played for the Mets last season, was able to go with the pitch for the opposite-field hit. "Had some tough at-bats early," Byrd said after striking out three times and walking twice before getting his big hit. "The good thing is I know the guys over there, know what theyre trying to do. They changed it up on me a little bit with Carlos. It was just one of those things." The Phillies left the bases loaded in the inning, only fitting as the teams combined to strand 32 runners on a damp night in a game that took 4 hours, 39 minutes. Jonathan Papelbon earned his 10th save. Mario Hollands (1-1) got his first big league win. The Mets returned home after a 2-6 road trip that ended with a three-game sweep at the hands of the Marlins and a 23-inning scoreless streak. They quickly ended the drought on Curtis Grandersons RBI double in the first but then reverted to their struggling ways until the eighth, when David Wright doubled in the tying run off Antonio Bastardo. New York loaded the bases in each of the first two innings against Roberto Hernandez. The Mets also put two runners on in three other innings, including the fifth when they had second and third with no outs after shortstop Jimmy Rollins throwing error on a potential double-play ball. Still, they mostly came up empty. New York left 15 on base, a season high, and went 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position. "You need a groundball up the middle, you need a flyball, you need to put the ball in play someplace to add on runs, to score the big runs, and everybody works at it every day," Mets manager Terry Collins said. While the Mets wasted opportunity after opportunity, the Phillies were hardly better in their first game since Toronto swept four from them in a home-and-home interleague series. Philadelphia stranded 17 at Citi Field and couldnt capitalize on 11 walks -- three intentional. Brown and Utley teamed in the third and fifth against Jenrry Mejia to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead. Utley led off the third with a double and advanced to third on Howards fly to left. After a walk to Byrd, Brown fisted a soft liner the opposite way to left to tie it 1-all. Brown drove in Utley in the fifth with another hit dunked into left field. Mejia gave up two runs and six hits in 4 2-3 innings. He walked three, hit a batter with a pitch and struck out four. Hernandez laboured through five innings, giving up a run while stranding 10. "Hernandez battled from a second and third no outs, which was big at the time," Sandberg said. Mets fans got excited in the third when Mejias weak fly to left looked as though it had a chance of dropping. Instead, a charging Brown made the catch to leave New York pitchers 0 for 59 this season.

"I think that the Western Conference is a conference thats got size and speed -- I think theres a little bit of difference in the conferences -- but I think for our team weve got size, weve got speed," Noel said as training camp opened with player physicals. "I think one of the areas we have to get better clearly is going to be our checking game. We have to get better at our goal differential. (It) has to really be on the right side of the ledger." Last season, the Jets had a -16 goal differential and finished 18th in the 30-team league. All 17 teams above them with the exception of the Minnesota Wild (-5) were on the plus side or even. The Jets are preparing to compete this season in the Western Conference in a new Central Division with the likes of Chicago, St. Louis and Minnesota, after finishing four points out of a playoff spot last season. The Winnipeg franchise -- which relocated from Atlanta in 2011 -- hasnt seen the post-season since 2007 even though it used to be in the Eastern Conferences Southeast Division, usually one of the NHLs weakest. Noel said he was really pleased at the condition of his players as they reported for camp and that included defenceman Dustin Byfuglien, whose weight has always been a hot topic. "I would look at him today, he looks very well, looks fit and Im very happy to see where hes at, it looks like hes in a good place," said the coach. "For Dustin, for me we just want him to be a guy who pllays up to his capabilities . http://www.onlineairmax.es/nike-air-max-2016-hombre-zapatillas-de-running-negro-silver.html. .. probably just the one thing for me is just to be more consistent in his game." Byfuglien finished 11th in scoring among defencemen last season with 28 points in 43 games, after finishing second the year before with 53 points in 66 games. The Jets need the big blue-liner to be on his game if they want to become a playoff team. His time on ice last season, considering he missed five games, was easily in the top 10 among league defencemen. But Winnipeg needs others to start playing up to their potential as well. Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler provided a consistent top-scoring line in 2012-13. The Jets are looking for a way to get similar production out of a line featuring left-winger Evander Kane this season. Winnipeg added veteran forwards Devon Setoguchi and Michael Frolik over the summer. They also have 2011 draft pick Mark Scheifele in camp after a strong season in the Ontario Hockey League. Now Noel has to fit the pieces together. "Right now it looks like were shaping up to have four pretty solid lines with a solid set of defence," said Noel. "The focus for me with some of the additions weve made is how were going to make this team play the way we want it to play to elevate us to the point where we now become a playoff team." Scheifele and 2012 draft pick defenceman Jacob Trouba look like the best bets out of prospect camp to stick in the NHL. The Jets also added another defenceman to the mix Wednesday when they signed Ian White to a professional tryout deal. The 29-year-old native of Steinbach, Man., spent the last couple of seasons in Detroit. Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Authentic China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NHL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
