SAN DIEGO -- After hitting a big home run, David Wright faked out Cameron Maybin. Wright hit a three-run homer and Angel Pagan added three RBIs to lift the Mets to their first series in San Diego in more than nine years with a 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Maybin was on second base when Logan Forsythe hit a hard grounder down the third base line with two outs. Wright dived and stopped the ball some 15 feet behind the bag then popped to his feet and faked the throw to first when he saw Maybin wasnt watching him. Then he just had to run toward the San Diego speedster and get him before he could dive back to the bag. "I can remember trying to do that when I was younger," Wright said. "You play long enough and you start getting different instincts." Wright said when the ball was hit, he realized he had no chance to throw out Forsythe. "I just wanted to keep it in the infield and prevent the runner from scoring once I caught it," Wright said. "I knew kind of right then that I was going to try and give the pump fake with Cam running because he has so much speed, he was going to try to score if I threw it. "He probably would have scored if I did throw it. I wanted to work his speed against him." That play helped keep New York in front 3-0 following Wrights third-inning homer off Mat Latos (6-12), his 10th of the season. Wright became just the second Met to hit at least 10 homers in his first eight seasons with club, according to statistics provided by the Mets from the Elias Sports Bureau. "With those shadows, you cant see the ball very well," Wright said. "So, you go up there and pick one pitch and not miss it. I was fortunate to get the one pitch he struck me out on (in the first)." Said New York manager Terry Collins: "Hes played great. Hes played tremendous third base." Since returning from the disabled list on July 22, Wright is batting .314 (32 of 102) with four homers and 21 RBIs. "Just a fastball out over the plate to one of the best players in our league," San Diego manager Bud Black said about Wrights homer. "He showed it in this series defensively and he swung the bat, also." Rookie Dillon Gee (11-4) limited the Padres to one run on five hits. The right-hander, who pitched 6 2-3 innings, also started an inning-ending double play in the third by snagging a grounder behind his back without looking. It was just the second time in his last five starts that Gee pitched past the fifth inning. "I felt like the changeup was better than in past outings," Gee said. "I got back to using the fastball and changeup. Thats what got me here and thats my pitch." Pagan had two hits, including a two-run double in the eighth inning when the Mets scored three times to increase their lead to 7-1. The last time New York won a series in San Diego was May 2002 at Qualcomm Stadium. Since Petco Park opened in 2004, the Mets are just 9-18 there. New York won for only the fifth time in 17 games. San Diego had seven hits, including five doubles, after reaching double figures in hits in the first two games of the series. Trailing 4-0, the Padres finally got to Gee when Orlando Hudson doubled leading off the seventh and scored on Aaron Cunninghams one-out double. After Gee issued a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Kyle Blanks, Tim Byrdak came in and walked pinch-hitter James Darnell to load the bases. Manny Acosta then struck out Bartlett to end the threat. Latos gave up three runs on four hits over six innings. He struck out six and walked two. NOTES: New York has allowed two or more runs in 37 consecutive games. ... Latos has given up three earned runs or less in 10 straight starts. ... The Mets failed to hit a double, snapping their streak of 14 straight games. ... RHP Mike Pelfrey (6-9. 4.53 ERA), who faced three batters in a relief appearance Tuesday night, will start in the Mets next game Friday night against Milwaukee RHP Shaun Marcum (10-3, 3.50). ... San Diego RHP Tim Stauffer (7-9, 3.53), who has allowed 13 earned runs in his last two starts, will face Floridas Javier Vazquez (7-10, 4.68) when the visiting Marlins open a four-game series Thursday night.

Tremaine Harris (200 metres), Daundre Barnaby (400 metres), Aaron Brown (200 metres), Kerri-Ann Mitchell (100 metres) and Sheila Reid (5,000 metres) successfully appealed for inclusion and will bring Canadas London-bound track and field contingent to 45 — the largest team Canada as sent to a Games since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Harris, Brown, Mitchell and Reid appealed for "rising star" consideration for athletes who finished among the top three at the 2012 Olympic Trials, achieved two "B" standards between April 1 and June 30 and have not been on an Olympic or world championship team prior to 2011. Barnaby, from Brampton, Ont., was on Athletics Canadas original nomination list but had to acquire his Canadian passport before he could be officially included. Harris, from Markham, Ont., was nominated to the team under the "truly exceptional circumstances" clause.dddddddddddd The 20-year-old sprinter was initially left off the team despite dominating the event at the Canadian track and field Olympic trials. Brown appealed for "rising star" consideration in light of a minor injury that kept him from running at full capacity in the 100-metres at the trials, and forced him to scratch from the 200 metres. He was nominated pending the results of a readiness test, consisting of a 200-metre race in Ottawa at the Ontario senior track and field championships this weekend. Mitchell, from Pickering, Ont., was added to the team as a result of Phylicia George opting out of the 100 metres in London to concentrate on the 100-metre hurdles. Reid, from Newmarket, Ont., won the 5,000-metres at the Canadian trials and has an Olympic "B" standard in the event. She was nominated pending a competitive readiness test, which she successfully completed earlier this week. ' ' '
