Johnson Helps Mets Run Win Streak to 4
A 5-RBI performance from designated hitter Lamar Johnson, who led the NL in RBI with 110 in 1966, led the New York Mets to a 14-9 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Steve Comer, who went 6 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 8 runs on 9 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 1-0. Scott Stewart, credited with the save, is now 4 for 5 in save opportunities.

Johnson had a big at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the third inning, when he hit a run-scoring double. The Mets went on to win.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Jamie Dagostini said.

New York leads the American League Up by 10½ games.
