NEW YORK -- Stuck in a batting slump all week, the New York Mets seemed unlikely to even get a hit. Cheap Durant

. Scoring? That looked downright impossible. Yet somehow, they
rallied. The Mets suddenly struck for three runs in the ninth inning against
Philadelphias makeshift bullpen minus closer Jonathan Papelbon, then ended a
five-game skid by beating the Phillies 5-4 Sunday on Ruben Tejadas single in the
11th. "Desperate? You can call it desperate if you want to, but we have to stay
positive," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "I dont know, standing on the edge
of the cliff probably is a better way to describe it." Down 4-1 with only three
outs left, the punchless Mets fought back, sparked by Daniel Murphys two-run
homer. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Papelbon was sore and unavailable to
pitch in a third straight game. "The daily grind of the season," Papelbon said.
"Its just kind of a product of the last couple of games." Lefty reliever
Antonio Bastardo and Roberto Hernandez -- who started Friday night -- quickly
let the Phillies lead slip away. In the 11th, Chris Young opened with an infield
single, barely beating the flip from second baseman Chase Utleys glove. The Mets
sent up pitcher Zack Wheeler as a pinch-hitter, and he put down a perfect
sacrifice bunt that moved Young to second. Juan Lagares drew an intentional walk
and Anthony Recker loaded with the bases with another infield hit stopped by
diving third baseman Reid Brignac. Tejada won it with one out, hitting a sharp
single to left-centre against Jeff Manship (1-1). Tejadas teammates chased him
down in short right field to celebrate. "It feels pretty good after a rough week
for me and the team," said Tejada, who recently lost his starting job at
shortstop. Scott Rice (1-1) got Brignac on a grounder with two runners on to
finish the 11th. Held to a total of nine runs in their previous five games, the
Mets began their comeback in the ninth when Eric Young Jr. led off with a double
and Murphy followed with a home run that made it 4-3. Chris Young ended his
0-for-18 slump by hitting a one-out double off the wall, and Hernandez emerged
from the bullpen -- he threw 99 pitches in the series opener. Pinch-hitter
Bobby Abreu singled off the glove of a diving Utley, and a slow grounder by
Lagares drove in the tying run. When Tejada came up in the 11th, he said he had
one thought in mind: "Finish the game." The Mets comeback denied Cole Hamels his
elusive first win of the year and the 100th of his career. He struck out 10 in
seven innings while throwing a whopping 133 pitches, the most by any major
leaguer since San Franciscos Tim Lincecum tossed 148 in his no-hitter last July
13. The Mets started quickly when Young Jr. led off with a single and stole
second, Murphy walked and David Wright hit an RBI single. NOTES: A day after
making his debut, the Mets Eric Campbell singled for his first big league hit.
... Jonathon Niese struck out twice, leaving Mets pitchers 0 for 63 at the plate
this year. ... The four-game Subway Series begins Monday night at Yankee Stadium
with Mets RHP Bartolo Colon (2-5, 5.36 ERA) facing RHP Hiroki Kuroda (2-3,
4.43). The teams play twice in the Bronx before shifting across town for two
more at Citi Field. The Mets went 4-0 against the Yankees last year. ...
Lefty-hitting Curtis Granderson didnt start vs. Hamels, but Collins said the
outfielder would be in the lineup Monday night. It will be Grandersons first
game in the Bronx since leaving the Yankees in the off-season, signing with the
Mets and saying: "A lot of the people Ive met in New York have always said that
true New Yorkers are Mets fans." ... Several players swung pink bats on Mothers
Day to support the fight against breast cancer. In keeping with the days theme,
Mets reliever Carlos Torres asked the team to play the hip-hop song "Dear Mama"
by the late Tupac Shakur over the PA system if he got into the game Sunday.
Torres didnt pitch. ... It was Bark at the Park Day to support pet rescue and
adoption. Many fans brought their dogs for a pregame parade around the warning
track. Not barking was longtime Mets hot dog vendor Willie B, popular for his
loud woofing in the second deck. He said his back was hurting, so he was
carrying a lighter tray of pretzels. Real dogs are allowed to sit with their
owners in the right-field porch at these Bark events -- on those days, Willie B
says he instead refers to his usual wares as "frankfurters, out of respect."

waiting to hear their name called in the NBA draft Thursday night, Bruno Caboclo
was in a taxi. Caboclo had been training just outside Houston, and he and his
personal advisor Eduardo Resende had hopped in a cab when somebody from Brazil
tweeted "Oh my god, Bruno at 20." "The taxi driver didnt understand what was
going on, we were screaming back there. It was crazy," said Resende. "He was
jumping out of the roof (figuratively), he was very excited. Its a dream come
true for a young Brazilian player that only can see (the NBA) on TV, and then
all of a sudden hes part of it." The 18-year-old Caboclo was a virtual unknown
when he became the Raptors surprise 20th pick in Thursday nights draft -- a
selection that general manager Masai Ujiri admitted was an "outright gamble."
Ujiri had another player in mind for the 20th pick, and had planned to take the
Brazilian at No. 37, but when he lost out on the first player, he wasnt taking
any chances on Caboclo. The young Brazilian arrived in Toronto on Friday night
-- and upon finding out he had the practice gym at the Air Canada Centre at his
disposal, headed there at 11 p.m. to shoot. The Raptors staff put him through
his first official workout Saturday morning. He then met with a curious Toronto
media contingent that numbered in double digits, an immediate measure of how
much his life has changed in two days. "His Twitter two days ago had 19
followers (hes now at over 5,000)," said Resende, who also acting as Caboclos
translator in Toronto -- the youngster speaks only a few words of English. "You
become like a public person. The biggest change for him is this (press)
conference here. I dont think he would ever imagine he would be here one day."
Caboclo grew up Pirapora do Bom Jesus, a tiny town outside of Sao Paolo. He
comes from a "difficult family, financially," according to Resende. "Even at his
age he support his family." Ujiri wouldnt reveal much about Caboclos upbringing
except "He grew up tough. I dont want to say too much about his family, and some
of the things we know. He grew up in a not-so-great environment. Basketball was
his love." He has two sisters, aged 22 and 26, who play volleyball. He played
soccer as a child, but said he was only "so-so" at it, and switched to
basketball at age 13, when he was already five foot 10. Within a year, he could
dunk the ball. The Raptors had tracked Caboclo since he was named most valuable
player of the Basketball Without Borders tournament last summer, first sending a
team of scouts to watch the six-foot-nine player with the eye-popping
seven-foot-six wingspan. Golden State

. "We felt like he was somebody we needed to follow. Our
scouts did a phenomenal job of going and seeing him and gathering information,"
Ujiri said after presenting Caboclo with his jersey. The Raptors GM took some
heat after Thursdays selection, from fans and the media, but shrugged it off
Saturday morning. "Honestly I dont do it for reactions of anybody. I dont care.
Were in a business where I cant react to anything, I just have to do my job, and
you hope the best comes out of it," Ujiri said. "Is it a gamble? Yes. But do we
remember who the 20th picks of the last 10 drafts are?" Ujiri sat courtside at
the ACC as Caboclo practised. Resende helped translate the instructions. He
dunked the ball with ease, shot well from long range, and was fluid as he moved
around the court despite his long limbs. "We thought from the little information
we have, hes young, hes long, hes tall, hes skinny, he likes to play basketball,
hes got a little bit of skill, he can shoot a little bit, maybe theres something
we can mould there," Ujiri said. Ujiri expects Caboclo to be a solid defender
because of his length. "He moves his feet pretty good, hes got a touch, he likes
to shoot it, so if he can be a two-way player where he can shoot the ball a
little bit and he can defend. . . We picked him because we feel theres some good
upside there, it will take time, and were ready to be patient for him," Ujiri
said. "Hes a great kid, but loves basketball, he wants to be in the gym every
second, which is what you want in an 18-year-old." Caboclo said he tries to
model his game after his idol and Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant. He
feels they have the same body type. Caboclos strength is among the things hell
need to work on during what should be a tough rookie season, between being so
far from home, having to learn English, and adapting to the NBA. The Raptors
will immediately implement a couple of measures to help him adjust -- a weight
training program and his own English teacher, Ujiri said. Hell also fly to Los
Angeles on Sunday to work with new teammates DeMar DeRozan, Terrence Ross,
Amir Johnson, and fellow rookie DeAndre Daniels, taken 37th overall Thursday
night. Caboclo will play with the Raptors in the summer league, plus Ujiri
expects him to spend some time next season down in the D-League. Resende said
the young player knows the road ahead wont be all smooth sailing. "Last night he
came to my room and he said Its a great responsibility," Resende said. Because
getting there is one thing, now the real work is going to begin now."
