Saenz Slugs Mets to 8-6 Win
Olmedo Saenz was instrumental in his team's 8-6 triumph over the Toronto Blue Jays. The designated hitter hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the New York Mets. New York starter Frank Castillo was credited with the win after throwing 110 pitches over 6.1 innings. His record now stands at 11-9. New York now sits at 62-50, while Toronto falls to 62-50.

New York used the timely hitting of Sammy Sosa to capture the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mets on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

Sosa told a New York Chronicle reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
