Mets Win in Glorious Fashion
Both teams had their chances, but the New York Mets eventually prevailed at Shea Stadium.

The inspired effort of Colorado left fielder Juan Gonzalez was not enough to prevent a 9-8 loss to the New York Mets. Gonzalez was 3-4 with 2 home runs, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The win was credited to Todd Jones in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jason Christiansen took the loss.

Phil Nevin tagged a home run off Jason Christiansen in the bottom of the ninth. His 2-run blast put the Mets on top, 9-8. In all, Nevin had 2 singles in addition to the home run, while going 3 for 5.

"This joint was rocking," said Nevin.

The loss drops Colorado to 2-2.
