Al Hrabosky earned his 16th save in 20 chances.

New York took advantage of an error in the top of the sixth inning. The game was tied, 4-4, when Kirby Puckett hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put New York in front, 6-4.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said New York manager Jamie Dagostini.

The first-place Mets have won 5 in a row.
