NY Post: "Jeff D’Amico combined with Mark Guthrie and Scott Strickland to shutdown the Marlins. And Jeromy Burnitz made one of the more improbable catches in team history. Roll it all together and it made for a 3-0 Mets’ win that improved their record to 27-23 in front of 38,781 on a hazy day at Shea...Roger Cedeno, Roberto Alomar, Mike Piazza and Mo Vaughn, helped produce three runs in the first."

National Pastime.com: "In front of a meager crowd of 2,503 fans at Wrigley Field, the visiting Mets set a franchise record for runs scored when the team pummels the Cubs, 19-1. New York's 25 year-old first baseman Dick Smith, batting leadoff, becomes the first player in franchise history to collect five hits in a game, nearly 20% of season total of 21, when he collects a double, a triple, and three singles."
