Mets Clip Expos in Tight Contest
The New York Mets dealt the Montreal Expos a 5-3 loss at Olympic Stadium. Sammy Sosa was the star on offense. He went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Frank Castillo got the win, improving to 8-3. He worked 9 innings, giving up 3 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. New York is third in the United League East Division with a record of 43-28.

The most important at-bat came in the top of the ninth inning. With one out, Jim Corsi threw a 1-1 slider to Sosa, which he hit to center for a 2-run single. It put New York in front, 5-3.

"I really like what we did out there today," Sosa said after the game.
