New York Mets starter Takehiro Ishii was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Baltimore Orioles, 4-1. Darren Holmes converted his 18th save in 21 tries. The 4th-place Mets now have a 7-game winning streak.

Magglio Ordonez, the 13th overall pick in the 1996 draft, chipped in for New York with a solo home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 run batted in.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Ishii.
