Mets Top Athletics Behind Johnson, 12-1
New York starter Randy Johnson kept the Oakland offense under clamps, while his team rolled to a 12-1 win. New York occupies 4th place in the United League East Division at 56-45.

Johnson, who leaned on his fastball, allowed 1 run on just 2 hits over 8 innings for the Mets. For the most part, Oakland hitters were simply overmatched.

Oakland manager Jim B called the blowout loss "an embarrassment."
