Floyd has 4 hit night as Mets Squeeze Past Baltimore
Cliff Floyd batted in 4 runs to lead New York to a win over Baltimore. The final score was 6-5. Floyd chipped in with 3 singles and 1 home run. New York occupies 4th place in the United League East Division at 71-54.

New York used the timely hitting of Terry Pendleton to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Mets on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a solid team effort," said Floyd after the game.
