Sosa Hits 2 home runs in Mets Win
New York center fielder Sammy Sosa was a significant contributor in his team's 6-1 triumph over the Seattle Pilots. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for New York. The winner was Manny Aybar, who threw 97 pitches over 6.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 6 hits. The Mets, at 27-22, sit in third place in the United League East Division.

Sosa had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 0-2 slider from Chris Haney, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Mets a 2-1 lead. It was the 14th home run of the year for Sosa.

"If it's down the middle," said Sosa, "you might as well hit it."
