Mets Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Expos
The New York Mets faced a tough opponent in Montreal pitcher Pedro Martinez, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Shea Stadium by a final score of 6-5. Martinez went 8 innings and allowed 4 earned runs. Frank Castillo picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 5 earned runs on 9 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 13-5. New York is now riding a 3-game win streak.

The game came to a dramatic end. In the bottom of the ninth, with New York trailing 5-4, Greg Colbrunn hit a changeup from Doug Jones for a 2-run home run, giving the Mets the walk-off win.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said New York manager Michael Kritikos.
