Mets Waste Great Game from Fielder
The New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks cranked it up at Shea Stadium.

The Arizona Diamondbacks outlasted Cecil Fielder and the New York Mets, 8-6. Fielder was impressive in the loss. The New York first baseman went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The Diamondbacks bumped their record to 53-51 with this latest triumph.

Arizona used the clutch hitting of Tony Gwynn to capture the win. The right fielder drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Diamondbacks the lead, 6-5. For the game, Gwynn had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"We maximized our offense today," said Arizona skipper Alen Maglajac. "That makes everyone's life easier."
