Mets Deal Chicago (N) 4-2 Defeat
New York (N) pitcher Paul Erickson did his part in helping his team beat the Chicago (N) Cubs, 4-2. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The winning pitcher was Erickson, now 2-0. He tossed 7.1 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 3. Picking up the save was Bill Gogolewski, his 4th.

New York (N) used a well-timed hit by Zeke Bonura to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Mets ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

Erickson attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."

New York (N) goes to 5-2 with the win.
