Both teams had their chances, but the New York Mets eventually prevailed.

The New York Mets picked up a win at Rate Field, downing the Chicago White Sox, 4-3. On the mound for New York was right-hander Pat Whittier, who played a pivotal role in the win. Earning his 8th save for New York was Travis Ballew.

New York needed the clutch hitting of Jim Hayes to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Mets on top, 4-3. For the game, Hayes had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Hayes called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."

The third-place Mets have won 4 straight.
