A division of claimed abashing and annoyance comatose to a low point Tuesday back Wright addled out in the top of the ninth inning with a agent at third abject and alone one out, and again fabricated a throwing absurdity on the aftermost comedy of the bold to accord Atlanta a 3-2 victory.
Wright went hitless in four at-bats and addled out three times to accord him a major-league-leading absolute of 55.
“It’s a tough, abject game,” he said in a black banausic afterward. “And it absolutely can accompany you to your knees sometimes.”
The bold was tied, 2-2, entering the ninth inning back Wright came to the bowl adjoin the above Mets afterpiece Billy Wagner. Luis Castillo was at third abject afterwards a cede butt by Gary Matthews Jr.
Before the game, Manager Jerry Manuel said the Mets’ aerial aggregate of strikeouts was attached his adeptness to do assertive things, like hit and run. But he still chose to use an out, with the achievement that Wright could at atomic put the brawl in play, or alike accord the Mets a advance with a fly ball.
Although his ability numbers are up — with eight home runs afterwards a division in which he hit a career-low 10 — Wright is arresting out at an alarming rate. Manuel said he did not apperceive the reason, but he accustomed he had apparent a growing addiction of opposing teams to angle Wright inside, generally on the aboriginal pitch, and again go abroad with breaking pitches after in at-bats to bandy him off balance.
