Late Rally by Mets Secures Win
The Mets had to overcome a fine effort from Toronto pitcher John Smiley to grab a narrow 5-4 win at SkyDome. Smiley went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. New York reliever Mike Sirotka was credited with the win, to go to 5-1. Pat Combs took the loss for Toronto. The third-place Mets now have a 4-game winning streak.

New York used the timely hitting of Magglio Ordonez to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Mets on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Ordonez.
