Mets Double Up Washington, 6-3
New York rode a decent outing from starter Manny Aybar to victory over the Washington Senators at Shea Stadium. The final score was 6-3. Aybar, now 2-0, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 6, walking 3, and allowing 2 earned runs. Mike Sirotka got the save, the 1st for him this season.

The Mets got an important contribution from second baseman Bret Boone, who in the bottom of the fourth knocked a 2-2 changeup into right-center for a 3-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Mets ahead, 4-2.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Boone.

Losses have been few and far between for the Senators so far this season. Their record drops to 17-6.
