• Mets 8, Reds 3: Carlos Beltran and Ryan Church homered back-to-back, the Mets roughed up Johnny Cueto and Oliver Perez waited until the sixth inning to melt down in a win of a rubber game at Shea Stadium. Jose Reyes got it all started with a loner and a stolen base before Luis Castillo tripled him home. Beltran, whose homer preceded Church’s in the fifth, had an RBI double in the first. Working with a lead for once, Perez had a walk and a wild pitch in the sixth but still looked much better than he has in fairly some moment.As for Castillo, the delight brought by his triple got canceled out by his needing to leave the game
  with quadriceps soreness. That’s the latest in a ever-growing series of durability problems. His line that year, in average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage: .245/.355/.292 — and that slugging is with Sunday’s triple. Reds moment baseman Jeff Keppinger, traded for Ruben Gotay in 2006, is at .324/.370/.430. Castillo makes $6 million. Keppinger will get $400,000.
