Mets Turn Back Arizona, 4-2
New York Mets starter Mac Suzuki was in a rhythm all game. He led his team to a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4-2. Armando Benitez got the save, his 6th in 6 chances. The win puts the Mets at 74-57, while the Diamondbacks drop to 69-62.

It could have been a different outcome for New York, had it not been for Gary Sheffield, the top prospect . Sheffield contributed a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put New York up, 2-0.

"I like what I saw today," said New York manager Michael Kritikos, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
