Mets Nick Nationals
It was New York Nicks day on Wednesday as Nick Swisher won the game for the Yankees and Nick Evans helped the Mets beat the Nationals.
Evans broke a 2-2 tie with a pinch-hit double in the seventh inning that scored the go-ahead run in a 3-2 victory. R.A. Dickey got the win.
It was a nice moment for Evans, who apparently no longer fits into the Mets' big league plans. He was a good looking prospect two springs ago and became the last player cut before the team broke camp. He went 7-for-75 at Triple-A Buffalo and was assigned to extended spring training, where he met with a sports psychologist.
This season, Evans played for Double-A Binghamton and Buffalo and hit a combined .300 with 23 homers and 80 runs batted in.
