Mets Bang Out 7-3 Win Versus St. Louis
The New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, at Shea Stadium. The win was largely due to the efforts of third baseman Phil B Clark, who captured player of the game honors. He went 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 times. Chad Gaudin was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 6 of 9 save opportunities. The Mets own a robust 82-43 mark.

Bob Elliott put New York in front, 4-2, when he took Lary Sorensen downtown. His solo home run came with no one out in the bottom of the fifth. It was his 12th home run of the season.

"We take it day by day here," said Clark, "and today was a good one for us."
