Vidro Delivers Walk-Off Win for Mets
New York turned a good effort from starter Joe Blanton into a win over the Detroit Tigers at Shea Stadium. The Mets won the game, 3-2. The Mets raised their record to 61-93.

New York got a knockout punch from Jose Vidro. The second baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Bottom line," said Detroit skipper Travis Phillips, "we didn't play well enough to win."
