Mets Shut Out Orioles
The New York Mets went home winners at Memorial Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Frank Castillo. Castillo silenced the Baltimore Orioles, enabling New York to grab the 4-0 win. The winning pitcher was Castillo, now 13-9. He tossed 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 5. New York has a 3-game win streak, while Baltimore has lost 3 in a row.

It could have been a different outcome for New York, had it not been for Tom Pagnozzi, the 35-year old catcher . Pagnozzi contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put New York up, 2-0.

Pagnozzi attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
