He was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6. His record now stands at 11-7. The 4th-place Mets have won 8 consecutive games.

Also having an impact was center fielder Sammy Sosa, who stroked a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first for New York. For the game, Sosa was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Sosa.
