Mets Win Thriller, 6-5
New York beat Toronto at Shea Stadium, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to center fielder Sammy Sosa, who earned player of the game honors. The Blue Jays drop to 13-14 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1997 season.

New York took a 6-5 lead on Greg Colbrunn's 24th hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Colbrunn hit in the bottom of the tenth, left Toronto pitcher Brad Clontz shaking his head.

"If we keep winning the close games," Sosa said, "we'll be in good shape at the end."
