Esmonde Helps New York Outscore Miami
The New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins in a game in which both teams scored early and often. The final score was 14-11, Mets. One of the hitting stars was shortstop Mitch Esmonde. Esmonde went 1-2 with a home run and 4 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Heihachiro Sakai snagged the win in relief. He goes to 3-1 on the season. Jose Jordan suffered the loss. Jose Noriega earned his 4th save, after closing out the game.

New York used the hitting of Jai Bethune to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Mets on top, 9-0. For the game, Bethune had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Being able to contribute to a win is always a great feeling," Esmonde told the New York Daily.

New York occupies second place in the National League East Division at 72-62.
