The Mets had a huge ninth inning in last night's 7-4 victory over the Giants, scoring three times in their last at-bat to upend San Francisco. The Giants send out their ace Tim Lincecum tonight, but the Mets have had success against the reigning Cy Young Award winner, beating him twice in two outings. Lincecum has rebounded following a slow start to the season, picking up four consecutive wins, all quality starts. Livan Hernandez has found a spot in the Mets rotation, winning three starts despite an ERA of 4.81.
