The New York Mets defeated the San Diego Padres, 9-8, in United League action at Shea Stadium. Gary Sheffield received player of the game honors. The 10-year veteran was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Darren Holmes was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 16 of 17 save opportunities. New York has now won 6 in a row.

New York right fielder Magglio Ordonez went deep in the bottom of the fourth. His 2-run home run off San Diego pitcher Doug Drabek put the Mets in front, 8-6. It was his 18th home run of the season.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Mets manager Michael Kritikos, "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."
