Rays Fall Short, 3-2, at New York
Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays.

New York Mets starter Pat Whittier hurled his team past the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-2. Whittier, now 6-6, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 2, walking 0, and allowing 1 run.

New York left fielder Dalton Pompey helped the Mets go up, 2-1, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Pompey hit a run-scoring single off Tampa Bay pitcher Tony Larkin.

"That's baseball," said Tampa Bay manager Joey Cora. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."

The Mets go to 26-45 with the win.
